What we’re called out for in Broadstairs
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
If you let a flat or house near Broadstairs station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

- Whether VAT is included

- Who turns up on the day
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Glazing silicone in Broadstairs
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
In a town like Broadstairs, older houses sit alongside newer estates, with windows of every age. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Common questions in Broadstairs
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Broadstairs any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Broadstairs station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Broadstairs.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What glazing silicone looks like in Broadstairs
Broadstairs is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Broadstairs, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
