Glazing silicone in Hammerwood, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and water running down inside the glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Hammerwood is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Hammerwood as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Hammerwood
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hammerwood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does the job take?

What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What glazing silicone looks like in Hammerwood
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Hammerwood Park (about 0.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hammerwood as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Sackville School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Stephen, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
What we are called out for in Hammerwood
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For landlords with property near Dormans station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
