Windows and doors in Howt Green
Howt Green is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Bartholomew include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Regis Manor Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How we handle glazing silicone in Howt Green
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about split or lifting silicone on glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Howt Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Howt Green and across Kent.

Landlord and commercial work in Howt Green
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When to call us in Howt Green
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
If you let a flat or house near Kemsley station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Howt Green questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kemsley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Howt Green any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. In a small place like Howt Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
