About our glazing silicone in Broadwater Down
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you are dealing with glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right.
Many houses in smaller places like Broadwater Down have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Broadwater Down
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for these signs:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
For landlords with property near Tunbridge Wells station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Landlord and commercial work in Broadwater Down

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What affects the quote in Broadwater Down
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Frames and glazing around Broadwater Down
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. With historic houses such as Groombridge Place (about 2.7 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Broadwater Down as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Broadwater Down Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs, including the tidy-up. A visit to Broadwater Down 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
