Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in New Barn
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you are dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right, on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases alike.
Many houses in smaller places like New Barn have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Do you reseal glass shower screens?

Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Condensation trapped between two panes
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
What affects the quote in New Barn
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in New Barn and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together.
If you manage several properties in or around New Barn, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
What glazing silicone looks like in New Barn
With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 3.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around New Barn as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Longfield 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 Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Longfield Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
