Kevington homes and the weather
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. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking.
For an older house near a landmark such as Unity Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Manor Oak Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How we handle glazing silicone in Kevington
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, 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. We work on shower screens, rooflights and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about glass-to-glass joints that have split and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, letting in draughts and water.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

FAQs for Kevington
Do you work for landlords with property near St Mary Cray station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Kevington in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kevington is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most jobs. In Kevington, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Do you need glazing silicone in Kevington?
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for these signs:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Letting a property close to St Mary Cray station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Landlord and commercial work in Kevington
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
