Glazing & conservatory sealant in East Malling, Kent
Professional glazing silicone in and around East Malling, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
How we handle glazing silicone in East Malling
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
In a smaller place like East Malling, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. A visit to East Malling is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What else we do in East Malling
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Common questions in East Malling
Do you cover East Malling for glazing silicone?
Yes, East Malling is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like East Malling?
Yes, East Malling is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What glazing silicone looks like in East Malling
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Starkey Castle (about 4.9 miles north) are a reminder that the area around East Malling has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St James, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as St James the Great Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near East Malling station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
