Glazing Silicone in Erriottwood
Professional glazing silicone in and around Erriottwood, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. Around Erriottwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Glazing silicone in Erriottwood
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you’re dealing with glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Erriottwood, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Erriottwood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Erriottwood: your questions answered
I let a flat near Teynham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Erriottwood?
Yes, Erriottwood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work has a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
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.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
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 the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Common problems we fix in Erriottwood
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Glazing silicone in Erriottwood: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Erriottwood 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.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
