Glazing silicone in Hawkenbury
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 conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant around glass panels and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
In a smaller place like Hawkenbury, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Frames that have decayed or split

Frames and glazing around Hawkenbury
Historic houses like Groombridge Place (about 3.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Hawkenbury has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Tunbridge Wells station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near St Peter's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. For a job in Hawkenbury, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Hawkenbury?
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
If you look after a building such as Claremont Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
- What the cure time is
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
FAQs for Hawkenbury
Do you work for landlords with property near Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Hawkenbury in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hawkenbury is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. In an older home around Hawkenbury, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
