About our glazing silicone in Hunters Forstal
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. 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, rooflights and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hunters Forstal is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Hunters Forstal
Is Hunters Forstal within the area you cover?
Yes. Hunters Forstal is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Hunters Forstal affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Frames and glazing around Hunters Forstal
Hunters Forstal is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Herne Church of England Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use gentle products around the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Hunters Forstal, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Hunters Forstal needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
