What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Chilham, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Do you need glazing silicone in Chilham?
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Rented homes near Chilham station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Cracked or broken glass
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

FAQs for Chilham
Do you work for landlords with property near Chilham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Chilham?
Yes, Chilham is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What does glazing silicone cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Frames and glazing around Chilham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
