About our glazing silicone in Highstead
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Highstead is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Highstead needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Glazing silicone in Highstead: local notes
Highstead is within about 2 miles 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Reculver Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. 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. In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Highstead is about 2 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Across the CT3 area, we can carry out glazing silicone at your property. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Highstead among them. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, roughly 40 miles from Highstead.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.

What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.

What else we do in Highstead
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Around Highstead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
