Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Higham
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you have leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Higham is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

What else we do in Higham
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, 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.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Questions from Higham
Do you cover Higham for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Higham is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is Higham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Glazing silicone in Higham: local notes
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 Temple Manor (about 2.3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Higham 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Higham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Higham Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Higham is about 2 miles north-west of Rochester, in Medway. If you need glazing silicone in Higham, it’s easy to get a quote: please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. Around Higham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Higham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
