The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. In a smaller place like Old Heath, 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 check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How we handle glazing silicone in Old Heath
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, 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 will tell you. We are often asked to deal with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and failed joints on frameless glass, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
Many houses in smaller places like Old Heath 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 covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Windows and doors in Old Heath
Old Heath is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Hythe station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Old Heath Community Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Barnabas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

What else we do in Old Heath
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. In a smaller place like Old Heath, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Old Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Old Heath?
Yes, Old Heath is covered. 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.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Old Heath?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
