Meopham Glazing Silicone
Professional glazing silicone in and around Meopham, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. In a smaller place like Meopham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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 check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
About our glazing silicone in Meopham
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you are dealing with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
Houses in smaller places like Meopham can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Windows and doors in Meopham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 1.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Meopham as well as newer homes. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Meopham Community Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Meopham station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Meopham is about 4 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Jobs in Meopham get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Meopham is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. There’s also a page for London, about 21 miles away.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Meopham
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Meopham
Do you cover smaller places like Meopham?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Meopham in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Meopham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
How we quote for glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Glass that needs replacing
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
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.
