Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Oare
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and water running down inside the glass, across conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Oare, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
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.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What glazing silicone looks like in Oare
Oare 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’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens (about 4.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Oare has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Davington Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing from start to finish. Somewhere like Oare 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 find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
What we’re called out for in Oare
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Rented homes near Faversham station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Oare questions
Does the coastal weather in Oare affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
I let a flat near Faversham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We do not install or replace the glass.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Mould in or behind the old joints

- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
