About our glazing silicone in Chevening
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you have rooflight joints letting water in and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Chevening, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Chevening and across Kent.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
FAQs for Chevening
Is Chevening within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dunton Green station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
When to call us in Chevening
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For landlords with property near Dunton Green station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.

Glazing silicone in Chevening: local notes
With historic houses such as Quebec House (about 3.3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chevening 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Botolph include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Combe Bank School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
