When to call us in Donkey Street
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
Look out for these signs:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How we handle glazing silicone in Donkey Street
We work across Donkey Street on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Donkey Street is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Donkey Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

Donkey Street homes and the weather
Donkey Street is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (about 3.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Donkey Street as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Why act early in Donkey Street
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a small place like Donkey Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Donkey Street questions
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Donkey Street any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
