About our glazing silicone in Hartley
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
Somewhere as small as Hartley, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Hartley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
When to call us in Hartley
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Schools such as High Weald Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Before booking anyone

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.

Glazing silicone in Hartley: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Scotney Castle (about 4.4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hartley 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.
Scotney Castle, about 4.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hartley, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hartley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
