FAQs for Great Chart
Will you come out to Great Chart?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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 do glazing silicone in Great Chart?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Great Chart is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Glazing silicone in Great Chart, done properly
Across Great Chart, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you are dealing with failed sealant around rooflight glass and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can put it right.
Around Great Chart, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Where we work in Great Chart
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Great Chart homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Godinton House (about 1.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Great Chart has older buildings as well as new. 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.
Schools such as Great Chart Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What else we do in Great Chart
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
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.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
Why act early in Great Chart
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a small place like Great Chart, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
