Glazing silicone in Petham
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are glass-to-glass joints that have split and split or lifting silicone on glass.
In a village or hamlet like Petham, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Petham and across Kent.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Petham
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Windows and doors in Petham
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 look after a building such as Petham Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Chartham station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Why deal with it now?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Older cottages and farmhouses around Petham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We agree the colour with you first
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Old sealant always removed completely

What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
