Glazing silicone in Hothfield, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and people most often call us about split or lifting silicone on glass and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Around Hothfield, 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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What glazing silicone looks like in Hothfield
Historic houses like Godinton House (about 1 mile south-east) are a reminder that the area around Hothfield 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Charing station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Hothfield
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hayesbrook School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hothfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
