About our glazing silicone in Hildenborough
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Around Hildenborough, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.

- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall

If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St John, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.

Hildenborough homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Ightham Mote (about 3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hildenborough as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Hildenborough station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Hildenborough Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hildenborough
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hildenborough can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
