What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Milton-next-Gravesend is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Glass that needs replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Milton-next-Gravesend
I let a flat near Gravesend station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Milton-next-Gravesend?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Frames and glazing around Milton-next-Gravesend
Milton-next-Gravesend is close to 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. With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 3.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Milton-next-Gravesend 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 is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as St John's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Gravesend station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Do you need glazing silicone in Milton-next-Gravesend?
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
The most common problems we see are:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
