About our glazing silicone in Harrietsham
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are failed joints on frameless glass and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
In smaller places like Harrietsham, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Landlord and commercial work in Harrietsham
Landlords and letting agents in Harrietsham can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a smaller place like Harrietsham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Your questions about glazing silicone in Harrietsham
Is Harrietsham in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Harrietsham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Harrietsham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Common problems we fix in Harrietsham
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water running down inside the glass
In the older streets around Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?
- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What we cannot put right

Frames and glazing around Harrietsham
With historic houses such as Leeds Castle (about 2.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Harrietsham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Harrietsham station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
