How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Lydden, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Lydden
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you are dealing with shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can put it right.
Homes in small places like Lydden often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
Signs you need glazing silicone in Lydden
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lydden Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
Common questions in Lydden
Do you work for landlords with property near Kearsney station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lydden?
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 take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Lydden?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
What affects the quote in Lydden
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Glazing silicone in Lydden: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary Church of St Mary Virgin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Kearsney station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
