Glazing silicone in Painters Ash, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and people most often call us about conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Homes around Painters Ash range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Painters Ash
Is Painters Ash within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Painters Ash any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Painters Ash
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Windows and doors in Painters Ash
Painters Ash 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Ebbsfleet International station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Painters Ash Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
