What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Glazing silicone in Pollhill, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. Typical jobs include leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and failed joints on frameless glass, on rooflights, shower screens and conservatory frames.
In a village or hamlet like Pollhill, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.

Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?

Will it make 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.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first before any sealing.

Advice
Glazing silicone in Pollhill: local notes
Historic houses like Leeds Castle (about 1.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Pollhill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Harrietsham Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Pollhill
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
If you let a flat or house near Harrietsham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Before you book anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Condensation trapped between two panes
