Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Platt, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Glazing silicone in Platt, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens alike.
In a village or hamlet like Platt, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Platt, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Platt questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Platt?
Yes, Platt is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Why act early in Platt
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Older cottages and farmhouses around Platt can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What glazing silicone looks like in Platt
With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (about 1.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Platt 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Borough Green & Wrotham station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
