Landlords, agents and businesses in Heronden
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Glazing silicone in Heronden, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant around rooflight glass and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
In a village or hamlet like Heronden, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Heronden as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. In a small place like Heronden, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What glazing silicone looks like in Heronden
The South East is one of the drier parts 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 Goodnestone Park (about 2.7 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Heronden as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Do you need glazing silicone in Heronden?
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Managing a site like Eastry Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Heronden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Is Heronden within the area you cover?
Yes. Heronden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?

Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.

Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.

Yes. We are fully insured.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
