How we handle glazing silicone in Cliffs End
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Homes in small places like Cliffs End often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Windows and doors in Cliffs End
Cliffs End is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Thanet Parkway station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Common questions in Cliffs End
Is Cliffs End within the area you cover?
Yes. Cliffs End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Thanet Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Cliffs End and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Around Cliffs End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens

What else we do in Cliffs End
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Do you need glazing silicone in Cliffs End?
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
If you look after a building such as Chilton Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
- The length of the guarantee
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Cliffs End, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
