What we’re called out for in Herne Bay
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.

- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Rented homes near Herne Bay station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Herne Bay
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are glass-to-glass joints that have split and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Around Herne Bay, many houses have gained conservatories, French doors or replacement windows over time. Each one adds more joints to look after, and those joints age at different rates. Sills, frame heads and glazing joints are where leaks usually start.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Parking in a town like Herne Bay is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What glazing silicone looks like in Herne Bay
Herne Bay is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Herne Bay Junior School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Herne Bay
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak generally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In Herne Bay, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
