These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
How we handle glazing silicone in Knatts Valley
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We are often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Knatts Valley is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Windows and doors in Knatts Valley
Historic houses like Lullingstone Castle (about 2.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Knatts Valley 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as West Kingsdown CofE VC Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Church of Saint Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Knatts Valley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- 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.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.

FAQs for Knatts Valley
I let a flat near Kemsing station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Knatts Valley?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Common problems we fix in Knatts Valley
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Letting a property close to Kemsing station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
