About our glazing silicone in Hinxhill
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on shower screens, rooflights and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are new silicone smeared over old sealant and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hinxhill is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Hinxhill
Will you come out to Hinxhill?
Yes. Hinxhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Hinxhill?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hinxhill is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It doesn’t last. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We do not replace glass. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
What glazing silicone looks like in Hinxhill
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. Historic houses like Godinton House (about 4.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Hinxhill 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 is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Brook Community Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Hinxhill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.

Common problems we fix in Hinxhill
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Before booking anyone
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
What affects the quote in Hinxhill
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
