About our glazing silicone in Clap Hill
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We are often asked to deal with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and rooflight joints letting water in, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and shower screens.
In a village or hamlet like Clap Hill, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. In a small place like Clap Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
Windows and doors in Clap Hill
Historic houses like Westenhanger Castle (about 4.1 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Clap Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle, about 4.1 miles east, show how far back building around Clap Hill goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aldington Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
When to call us in Clap Hill
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
If you let a flat or house near Ham Street station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few pictures by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clap Hill
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
Why act early in Clap Hill
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. In a small place like Clap Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- You choose the colour before work begins
