Windows and doors in Lordswood
Historic houses like Restoration House (about 3.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Lordswood has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near St David's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Chatham station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

About our glazing silicone in Lordswood
Our work covers conservatory joints, 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 conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and people most often call us about a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Houses in smaller places like Lordswood can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Lordswood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Lordswood
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In an older home around Lordswood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

What else we do in Lordswood
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
Questions from Lordswood
Do you work for landlords with property near Chatham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Lordswood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
What we are called out for in Lordswood
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
If you look after a building such as St Benedict's Catholic Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
