How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Grubb Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work

Glazing silicone in Grubb Street, done properly
Across Grubb Street, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. If you’re dealing with failed sealant around rooflight glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help.
Around Grubb Street, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Glazing silicone in Grubb Street: local notes
With historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle (about 5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Grubb Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
Managing a site like Greenlands Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of Saint Mary Magdalene include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Letting a property close to Longfield station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When you call or email, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.

Honest limits

- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof

What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
Should I try it myself first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
