Glazing silicone in Chalk, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are mouldy sealant around glass panels and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Chalk is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Chalk questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Gravesend station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Chalk within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chalk, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

Glass balustrade bases

Related advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Chalk?
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water running down inside the glass
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Landlord and commercial work in Chalk
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Frames and glazing around Chalk
Chalk is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Thamesview School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Gravesend station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
