DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Brabourne Lees
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We’re often asked to deal with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Brabourne Lees is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Brabourne Lees, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brabourne Lees
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. In a small place like Brabourne Lees, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely
See our cost guide or our reviews.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Glazing silicone in Brabourne Lees: local notes
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. Historic houses like Westenhanger Castle (about 3.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Brabourne Lees has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Smeeth Community Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Brabourne Lees
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water running down inside the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
