Glazing silicone in Durlock
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and cracked silicone between glass panels.
In a village or hamlet like Durlock, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Durlock, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Durlock questions
Is Durlock in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Durlock is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Durlock within the area you cover?
Yes, Durlock is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Durlock and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Common problems we fix in Durlock
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Managing a site like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Landlord and commercial work in Durlock
Landlords and letting agents in Durlock can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What glazing silicone looks like in Durlock
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 2.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Durlock 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.
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
