When to call us in Lidsing
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Swingate Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include

- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

How we handle glazing silicone in Lidsing
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about water tracking down the inner face of the glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Lidsing is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Lidsing, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
Glazing silicone in Lidsing: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Restoration House (about 4.7 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Lidsing 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’s traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Rainham (Kent) station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why act early in Lidsing
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Around Lidsing, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?

Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
