Glazing silicone in Martin Mill
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. If you have water getting into a conservatory at the joints and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can put it right, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Martin Mill, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, 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. In a small place like Martin Mill, access is generally 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.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Frames and glazing around Martin Mill
Martin Mill is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Walmer Castle (about 3.1 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Martin Mill 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.
Managing a site like Langdon Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Augustine, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Martin Mill station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Martin Mill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

FAQs for Martin Mill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Martin Mill station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Martin Mill within the area you cover?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on all our work.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
