Glazing silicone in Grafty Green, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
Around Grafty Green, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What else we do in Grafty Green
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Windows and doors in Grafty Green
With historic houses such as Leeds Castle (about 3.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Grafty Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Lenham station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Platts Heath Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. Older cottages and farmhouses around Grafty Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
