Glazing silicone in Kenardington
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joints on frameless glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
Somewhere as small as Kenardington, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Kenardington as everywhere else we work.

Windows and doors in Kenardington
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Kenardington: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Kenardington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Do you need glazing silicone in Kenardington?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
Why act early in Kenardington
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Around Kenardington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

- Glass-to-glass joints

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Kenardington, 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.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
