Windows and doors in Matfield
Historic houses like Scotney Castle (about 4.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Matfield has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Paddock Wood station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Ebenezer Church (Matfield), frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Matfield
We work across Matfield on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We’re often asked to deal with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
Homes in small places like Matfield 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the quote in Matfield
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Matfield
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. In a small place like Matfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- We never seal over old sealant
- Tidy, careful work
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Matfield needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.

What else we do in Matfield
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
