Glazing silicone in Knave's Ash, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you’re dealing with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help.
Homes in small places like Knave's Ash 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Knave's Ash, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.

Knave's Ash homes and the weather
Knave's Ash is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Cross, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hoath Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Knave's Ash: your questions answered
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Knave's Ash within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Knave's Ash
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Around Knave's Ash, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
How we quote for glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
