How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Burmarsh
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are silicone pulling away from the glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
Somewhere as small as Burmarsh, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
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.

Windows and doors in Burmarsh
Burmarsh is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (about 3.5 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burmarsh 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.
Rented homes near Westenhanger station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Letting agents and landlords in Burmarsh can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Around Burmarsh, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What else we do in Burmarsh
Can I do it myself?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Common problems we fix in Burmarsh
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Advice
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
