What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Flemings, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Glazing silicone in Flemings
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about water running down inside the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
In a village or hamlet like Flemings, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Flemings and across Kent.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. Around Flemings, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- We’re fully insured
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Glazing silicone in Flemings: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 2.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Flemings as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
