DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Ivy Hatch
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have glass-to-glass joints that have split and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ivy Hatch is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Windows and doors in Ivy Hatch
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Ightham Mote (about 0.7 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Ivy Hatch has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Ivy Hatch Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Borough Green & Wrotham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
