About our glazing silicone in Farthingloe
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can put it right.
Around Farthingloe, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

- A broken pane or roof panel
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)

What glazing silicone looks like in Farthingloe
Farthingloe 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Aycliffe Church Centre, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Dover Priory station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aycliffe Community Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Farthingloe
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. In a small place like Farthingloe, 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. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We never seal over old sealant

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Farthingloe: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Farthingloe any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
I let a flat near Dover Priory station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our one-year guarantee to every job we do.
Do you work in Farthingloe?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Farthingloe.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
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.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
