Glazing silicone in Petteridge, done properly
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Common call-outs are for split or lifting silicone on glass and cracked silicone between glass panels, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Petteridge is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Petteridge and across Kent.

- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Common questions in Petteridge
Do you cover smaller places like Petteridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Petteridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- We agree the colour with you first

Glazing silicone in Petteridge: local notes
With historic houses such as Scotney Castle (about 3.8 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Petteridge as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Ebenezer Church (Matfield), frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Paddock Wood station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Do you need glazing silicone in Petteridge?
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Schools such as Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
