Reculver: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Reculver?
Yes. Reculver is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What does glazing silicone cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.
Glazing silicone in Reculver
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Reculver, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Reculver, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing. In a small place like Reculver, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Glazing silicone in Reculver: local notes
Reculver 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 is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Reculver is about 3 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Jobs in Reculver get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Reculver
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Schools such as Reculver Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
