Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
About our glazing silicone in Hever
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Hever, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Hever
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Hever, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Hever homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like Hever Castle (about 0.4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Hever has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Hever questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Hever?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hever is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Hever within the area you cover?
Yes. Hever is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
You get our 12-month guarantee on all our work.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do you need glazing silicone in Hever?
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
If you let a flat or house near Hever station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Before you book anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
