Windows and doors in Maidstone
Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 2.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Maidstone has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as South Borough Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Maidstone West station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Glazing silicone in Maidstone, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
With a large rental market, Maidstone has plenty of windows that landlords need to keep weathertight. Cracked or missing mastic round a frame is a common cause of damp patches and draughts.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. For landlords in Maidstone, failed sealant soon turns into tenant complaints about mould, damp or draughts. Sorting it between tenancies is easier than dealing with it mid-let.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Do you need glazing silicone in Maidstone?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
If you live in an older home near St Philip's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will give you a better idea when we quote.

Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
