- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Glazing silicone in Herne, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are glass-to-glass joints that have split and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
In smaller places like Herne, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

When to call us in Herne
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Schools such as Herne Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Herne, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. In a smaller place like Herne, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Frames and glazing around Herne
Herne is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Martin include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Herne Bay station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Questions from Herne
Will you come out to Herne?
Yes, Herne is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Herne?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
