About our glazing silicone in Fordcombe
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. Common call-outs are for failed joints on frameless glass and rooflight joints letting water in, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Fordcombe is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Frames and glazing around Fordcombe
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. Historic houses like Groombridge Place (about 1.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Fordcombe 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.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Fordcombe Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Ashurst Kent station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Fordcombe, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
FAQs for Fordcombe
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashurst Kent station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Fordcombe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Fordcombe?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. Around Fordcombe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
