Frames and glazing around Fox Street
With historic houses such as Castle House (about 3.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fox Street 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Roach Vale Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St John include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

About our glazing silicone in Fox Street
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant around rooflight glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Fox Street is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fox Street
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fox Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Fox Street clients choose us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Fully insured
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
Do you need glazing silicone in Fox Street?
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
For landlords with property near Hythe station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What preparation is included
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Fox Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Your questions about glazing silicone in Fox Street
Is Fox Street in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Fox Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Fox Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Fox Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What does glazing silicone cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you replace glass?
We don’t replace glass. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
