Glazing silicone in Lower Bush, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and rooflight joints letting water in.
Somewhere as small as Lower Bush, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Landlord and commercial work in Lower Bush
Letting agents and landlords in Lower Bush can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Lower Bush needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Common problems we fix in Lower Bush
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Schools such as Cuxton Community Infant School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Lower Bush homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Starkey Castle (about 1.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Lower Bush has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Cuxton station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Lower Bush: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Bush?
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.
Do you cover Lower Bush for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lower Bush is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you are paying for.
