Questions from Hawthorn
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Hawthorn affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Glazing silicone in Hawthorn, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hawthorn is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
What glazing silicone looks like in Hawthorn
Hawthorn is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Reculver Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. In a small place like Hawthorn, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Hawthorn, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Do you need glazing silicone in Hawthorn?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
