Glazing silicone in Old Tree, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you have water escaping where a screen meets the wall and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Old Tree, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What glazing silicone looks like in Old Tree
Old Tree is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Herne Bay station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Cross, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Hoath Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Old Tree is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. For glazing silicone in and around Old Tree, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for a quick quote.

FAQs for Old Tree
Does the coastal weather in Old Tree 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Old Tree?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Old Tree, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
