What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Fir Toll, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Fir Toll
We work across Fir Toll on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and failed joints on frameless glass, we can put it right, on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights alike.
Around Fir Toll, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Fir Toll and everywhere else we cover.

What we are called out for in Fir Toll
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
What glazing silicone looks like in Fir Toll
Historic houses like Godinton House (about 3.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Fir Toll 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 is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Pluckley station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Pluckley Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why act early in Fir Toll
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fir Toll can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
