Romney Street questions
I let a flat near Shoreham (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Romney Street?
Yes, Romney Street is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
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.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most jobs. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
About our glazing silicone in Romney Street
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked silicone between glass panels and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Around Romney Street, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Romney Street, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive

Windows and doors in Romney Street
With historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle (about 2.3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Romney Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of Saint Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Can I do it myself?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Romney Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Romney Street
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
If you let a flat or house near Shoreham (Kent) station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
