Glazing Silicone in Boughton Malherbe
We cover Boughton Malherbe for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Rooflight joints letting water in
How we handle glazing silicone in Boughton Malherbe
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. Typical jobs include failed joints on frameless glass and water running down inside the glass, across shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Boughton Malherbe is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we are called out for in Boughton Malherbe
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
For glazing silicone in Boughton Malherbe, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Boughton Malherbe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Windows and doors in Boughton Malherbe
Historic houses like Leeds Castle (about 3.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Boughton Malherbe has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Platts Heath Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Lenham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
