How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
Glazing silicone in Hockenden, done properly
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 if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. If you have mouldy sealant around glass panels and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hockenden is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
FAQs for Hockenden
Can you do glazing silicone in Hockenden?
Yes, Hockenden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Swanley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you 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.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Windows and doors in Hockenden
Historic houses like Hall Place and Gardens (about 3.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Hockenden has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Swanley station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Horizon Primary Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the size of the job.
