About our glazing silicone in Ramsgate
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are glass-to-glass joints that have split and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Walls in Ramsgate that face the prevailing wind take the most weather, so the mastic there tends to fail first. Checking every frame, not just the obvious one, is time well spent.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Glazing silicone in Ramsgate: local notes
Ramsgate is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Quex Park (about 4.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ramsgate as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Priory Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to St. Luke's Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Ramsgate: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Ramsgate affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you cover Ramsgate for glazing silicone?
Yes, Ramsgate is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.

What else we do in Ramsgate
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. A visit in Ramsgate needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.

- We cut away the failed silicone.

Related advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- 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.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Common problems we fix in Ramsgate
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Letting a property close to Ramsgate station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Leave it or put it right?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In Ramsgate, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
