Glazing silicone in Budds
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you’re dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Budds is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Budds as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Landlords and letting agents in Budds can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Why it’s worth doing now in Budds
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Older cottages and farmhouses around Budds can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- You choose the colour before work begins

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Budds
Can you do glazing silicone in Budds?
Yes, Budds is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hildenborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Budds homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Ightham Mote (about 0.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Budds as well as newer homes. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Shipbourne School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Hildenborough station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Giles, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Budds, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
