Glazing silicone in Potter's Forstal
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Common call-outs are for black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, across rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames.
Around Potter's Forstal, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Potter's Forstal: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Potter's Forstal?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Pluckley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It does not last. The new bead can’t grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
What guarantee do I get?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We check which it is.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Glass that needs replacing
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases

What we’re called out for in Potter's Forstal
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
If you look after a building such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote

What affects the quote in Potter's Forstal

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Windows and doors in Potter's Forstal
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.
Letting a property close to Pluckley station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
