Painter's Forstal: your questions answered
I let a flat near Faversham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Painter's Forstal in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Painter's Forstal is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Glazing silicone in Painter's Forstal, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Typical jobs include mouldy sealant around glass panels and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Homes in small places like Painter's Forstal often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Painter's Forstal and across Kent.

Why it’s worth doing now in Painter's Forstal
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Painter's Forstal, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
Painter's Forstal homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 1.8 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Painter's Forstal as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Faversham station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as Ospringe Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
