Common questions in Hythe
Do you cover Hythe for glazing silicone?
Yes, Hythe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Does the coastal weather in Hythe affect outside sealant?
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 generally the first to need attention.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What guarantee do I get?
You get our 12-month guarantee to every job we do.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How we handle glazing silicone in Hythe
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on rooflights, conservatory frames and shower screens.
Hythe mixes older streets, where windows have often been replaced, with newer estates fitted with uPVC. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak generally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Hythe, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What glazing silicone looks like in Hythe
Hythe is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Hythe Bay CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Parking in a town like Hythe is generally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Hythe
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints

- Glass balustrade bases
When to call us in Hythe
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Rented homes near Sandling station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
