About our glazing silicone in Chillenden
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We’re often asked to deal with split or lifting silicone on glass and water running down inside the glass, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
Around Chillenden, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Chillenden and everywhere else we cover.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Chillenden, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Glazing silicone in Chillenden: local notes
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 1.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Chillenden has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Schools such as Goodnestone Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Aylesham station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

Common questions in Chillenden
Is Chillenden in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Chillenden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aylesham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chillenden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
