Glazing & conservatory sealant in Northwood, Kent
Glazing joints in Northwood need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Use gentle products around the joints
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Glazing silicone in Northwood, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Many houses in smaller places like Northwood have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. A visit to Northwood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Northwood
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Homes close to St Mark's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why act early in Northwood
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In an older home around Northwood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Frames and glazing around Northwood
Northwood 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 Quex Park (about 3.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Northwood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Ramsgate station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dame Janet Primary Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
