About our glazing silicone in Otham
Across Otham, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We’re often asked to deal with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases.
Many houses in smaller places like Otham have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.

What glazing silicone looks like in Otham
With historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 0.6 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Otham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
For landlords with property near Bearsted station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Homes close to St Nicholas's Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What we’re called out for in Otham
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The most common problems we see are:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you look after a building such as Senacre Technology College, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Otham
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.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit to Otham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
