How we handle glazing silicone in Ridgeway
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Somewhere as small as Ridgeway, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ridgeway, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: 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.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Ridgeway, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Common questions in Ridgeway
Do you work for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Ridgeway?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Ridgeway
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Schools such as Smeeth Community Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Frames and glazing around Ridgeway
With historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (about 3.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ridgeway 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. 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 Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Westenhanger station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
