Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Upnor
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Upnor can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Glazing silicone in Lower Upnor
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help, on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Lower Upnor is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Windows and doors in Lower Upnor
Lower Upnor is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Restoration House (about 2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lower Upnor as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near St Philip & St James, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chattenden Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Strood station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Lower Upnor?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Do you work in Lower Upnor?
Yes, we do. Lower Upnor is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
