Glazing silicone in Godmersham, done properly

We work across Godmersham on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We’re often asked to deal with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.

Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Godmersham is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Common problems we fix in Godmersham

Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Cracked silicone between glass panels
  • Silicone pulling away from the glass
  • Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
  • Failed sealant around rooflight glass

Rented homes near Chilham station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How to choose a mastic man

Godmersham homes and 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.

In the older streets around Church of St Lawrence, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Godmersham is about 7 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Across the CT4 area, our applicators can take on glazing silicone. Godmersham is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, roughly 41 miles from Godmersham.

All of CT4 is within our area for glazing silicone. If you need glazing silicone at a property on The Street and Eggarton Lane or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job. Close by, we work in Bilting (1 mile south-west), Mountain Street (1 mile north), Chilham (2 miles north), Old Wives Lees (2 miles north) and Shottenden (3 miles north-west). Further out, we also cover Ashford (7 miles south-west), Canterbury (7 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-east), Whitstable (10 miles north) and Faversham (7 miles north-west).

How the job changes by surface

Shower screens

Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.

Conservatory frames

Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.

What happens if it’s left?

A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Godmersham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Why book with us

  • We are fully insured
  • Neat joints and a tidy finish
  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Your questions about glazing silicone in Godmersham

Do you cover smaller places like Godmersham?

Yes. Godmersham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chilham station?

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.

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, and we’ll explain our choice.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

Can you match the sealant colour?

Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Godmersham and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.

Do you replace glass?

No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

When it isn’t the sealant

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
  • Glass that needs replacing
  • A frame that needs repairing or replacing

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Glass-to-glass joints
  • Conservatory frames
  • Shower screens
  • Glass-to-frame joints
  • Rooflights
  • Glass balustrade bases

For landlords and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

What happens on the day

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Godmersham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
  2. The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
  4. We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
  5. The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
