Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Luddesdown
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks from the base of a shower screen and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Homes in small places like Luddesdown often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Glass that needs replacing
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Luddesdown
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed joints on frameless glass
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common questions in Luddesdown
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sole Street station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Luddesdown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you replace glass?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What glazing silicone looks like in Luddesdown
Historic houses like Cobham College (about 1.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Luddesdown 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. 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.
For landlords with property near Sole Street station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Meopham School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Luddesdown, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
