How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Charcott, 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Glazing silicone in Charcott
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. If you have glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Charcott is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Charcott questions
I let a flat near Penshurst station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Charcott?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Windows and doors in Charcott
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Chiddingstone Castle (about 1.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Charcott as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Penshurst station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Why act early in Charcott
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Older cottages and farmhouses around Charcott can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Other services in Charcott
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We check which it is.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
When to call us in Charcott
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Look out for these signs:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Luke, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
