About our glazing silicone in Maylandsea
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you’re dealing with silicone pulling away from the glass and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Maylandsea 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Maylandsea needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

FAQs for Maylandsea
Do you work for landlords with property near Althorne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Maylandsea?
Yes. Maylandsea is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Frames and glazing around Maylandsea
Maylandsea is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Althorne station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Common problems we fix in Maylandsea
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Maylandsea Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- Are they insured?
- What happens if the job turns out different
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a small place like Maylandsea, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Tidy, careful work
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
