How we handle glazing silicone in Dungeness
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We work on rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joints on frameless glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Somewhere as small as Dungeness, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Dungeness questions
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Dungeness?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Dungeness?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. The new bead can’t grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Dungeness homes and the weather
Dungeness is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces 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.
Around Dungeness, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Dungeness is about 11 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Wherever you are in the TN29 postcode area, we cover glazing silicone for homes and businesses. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Dungeness is one of them. Our Brighton page covers work nearby, about 49 miles away.

Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a small place like Dungeness, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

What else we do in Dungeness
Common problems we fix in Dungeness
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For jobs in and around Dungeness, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Dungeness 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 check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
