Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Borstal
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you’re dealing with silicone pulling away from the glass and water running down inside the glass, we can help.
In a smaller place like Borstal, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Borstal and across Medway.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Borstal
Can you do glazing silicone in Borstal?
Yes, Borstal is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cuxton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. A visit to Borstal is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Do you need glazing silicone in Borstal?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Rented homes near Cuxton station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Windows and doors in Borstal
With historic houses such as Temple Manor (about 1 mile north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Borstal as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like St William of Perth Roman Catholic Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near St Matthew's, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Borstal is about 1 mile south-west of Rochester, in Medway. Borstal gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

What’s near Borstal
We work in homes and buildings around Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School, Former Ordnance Store At Chatham Gun Wharf and St John Fisher RC Comprehensive School. The closest station to Borstal is Cuxton station, roughly 1 mile west. Well-known places in the area include Six Poor Travellers House (1.3 miles north-east) and Rochester Castle (1.3 miles north-east). Not far away are Blue Bell Hill and Ranscombe Farm.
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. In an older home around Borstal, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
