About our glazing silicone in Hacklinge
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on rooflights, shower screens and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
In a village or hamlet like Hacklinge, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.

Questions from Hacklinge
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Hacklinge any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Do you work in Hacklinge?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Hacklinge.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Windows and doors in Hacklinge
Hacklinge is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Walmer Castle (about 3.5 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hacklinge as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Worth Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Church of St George, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
