How we handle glazing silicone in Charlton-in-Dover
We work across Charlton-in-Dover on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about leaks from the base of a shower screen and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.
In a smaller place like Charlton-in-Dover, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Charlton-in-Dover homes and the weather
Charlton-in-Dover is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Dover Priory station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Charlton-in-Dover: your questions answered
Will you come out to Charlton-in-Dover?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dover Priory station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Charlton-in-Dover and the rest of Kent.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Why act early in Charlton-in-Dover
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Around Charlton-in-Dover, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. A visit to Charlton-in-Dover 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.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Common problems we fix in Charlton-in-Dover
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Look out for these signs:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
If you look after a building such as Charlton Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
