How we handle glazing silicone in Broad Tenterden
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 water getting into a conservatory at the joints and split or lifting silicone on glass, across glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Tenterden, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
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.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Windows and doors in Broad Tenterden
Historic houses like Smallhythe Place (about 1.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Broad Tenterden has older buildings as well as new. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mildred, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

When to call us in Broad Tenterden
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Schools such as Tenterden Church of England Junior School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Broad Tenterden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
