Glazing silicone in Highsted
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Around Highsted, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Frames and glazing around Highsted
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.
Managing a site like Rodmersham School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Sittingbourne station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Highsted is about 2 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Highsted gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Highsted is one of 922 places in Kent where we work for glazing silicone. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page (31 miles or so).

What’s near Highsted
Typical jobs here are in homes near Fulston Manor School and Cromers Wood, among other places. The nearest railway station is Sittingbourne station, roughly 1.6 miles north. Nearby you will also find Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (1.4 miles north) and Bayford Court (1.7 miles north).
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
Highsted questions
Is Highsted within the area you cover?
Yes. Highsted is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sittingbourne station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Highsted?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Highsted, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Older cottages and farmhouses around Highsted can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Glass that needs replacing
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
