About our glazing silicone in Cop Street
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 work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Cop Street, 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.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Cop Street
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Common questions in Cop Street
Do you cover smaller places like Cop Street?
Yes. Cop Street 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.
Do you cover Cop Street for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cop Street is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

Cop Street homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 4.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cop Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing from start to finish. In a small place like Cop Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Glass that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
