Chartway Street: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Chartway Street?
Yes, Chartway Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Chartway Street?
Yes, Chartway Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, glazing sealant included.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Glazing silicone in Chartway Street, done properly
Across Chartway Street, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Typical jobs include water escaping where a screen meets the wall and split or lifting silicone on glass, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames.
Around Chartway Street, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.

Windows and doors in Chartway Street
Historic houses like Leeds Castle (about 2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Chartway Street has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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 live in an older home near St Peter's and St Paul's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Harrietsham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Managing a site like Kingswood Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
