- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
How we handle glazing silicone in Patrixbourne
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Common call-outs are for glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
Homes in small places like Patrixbourne often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Landlord and commercial work in Patrixbourne
If you manage several properties in or around Patrixbourne, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Patrixbourne and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use gentle products around the joints
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Patrixbourne questions
Is Patrixbourne within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bekesbourne station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We check which it is.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.

Patrixbourne homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Patrixbourne has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Patrixbourne, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky

When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Do you need glazing silicone in Patrixbourne?
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Schools such as Bridge and Patrixbourne Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
