How we handle glazing silicone in Egerton Forstal
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joints on frameless glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Homes in small places like Egerton Forstal often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Egerton Forstal and across Kent.

What happens if it’s left?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Egerton Forstal can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Egerton Forstal, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Frames and glazing around Egerton Forstal
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Pluckley station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Egerton Forstal
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water running down inside the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
If you look after a building such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long to leave it before use
