- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Ickham, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Glazing silicone in Ickham, done properly
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked silicone between glass panels and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Around Ickham, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we’re called out for in Ickham
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
In the older streets around Church of St John, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
Frames and glazing around Ickham
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ickham as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Other services in Ickham
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ickham
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak generally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ickham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
