Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Kempe's Corner
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Homes in small places like Kempe's Corner often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Common questions in Kempe's Corner
Is Kempe's Corner in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kempe's Corner is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Wye station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What does glazing silicone cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Kempe's Corner
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Look out for these signs:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Windows and doors in Kempe's Corner
Historic houses like Godinton House (about 3.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Kempe's Corner has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
In the older streets around All Saints’ Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Wye station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Kempe's Corner, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
