Glazing silicone in Radfall, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Common call-outs are for leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Radfall is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Radfall, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Common problems we fix in Radfall
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Managing a site like The Whitstable School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What we can’t put right

- Glass that needs replacing

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Radfall, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Radfall?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.

Windows and doors in Radfall
Radfall is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Chestfield & Swalecliffe station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
