About our glazing silicone in Lynsore Bottom
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Typical jobs include glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Around Lynsore Bottom, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Lynsore Bottom and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We check which it is.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Common problems we fix in Lynsore Bottom
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Rented homes near Bekesbourne station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
