Platt's Heath Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in Platt's Heath need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

- Water running down inside the glass
About our glazing silicone in Platt's Heath
Across Platt's Heath, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Homes in small places like Platt's Heath 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Platt's Heath and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Platt's Heath
Is Platt's Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lenham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Does someone need to be in?
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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What affects the quote in Platt's Heath
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We don’t install or replace glass.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Platt's Heath needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

Platt's Heath homes and the weather
Historic houses like Leeds Castle (about 3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Platt's Heath has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Platts Heath Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What we are called out for in Platt's Heath
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
For landlords with property near Lenham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
