Glazing silicone in Martin, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Typical jobs include a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
Around Martin, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Martin, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Martin
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water running down inside the glass
Managing a site like Langdon Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why act early in Martin
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Older cottages and farmhouses around Martin 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, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Colour agreed with you before we start

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you replace glass?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.

What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Frames and glazing around Martin
Martin is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Augustine, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Martin Mill station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
