A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How we handle glazing silicone in Rough Common
Across Rough Common, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. Typical jobs include mouldy sealant around glass panels and glass-to-glass joints that have split, across rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.
In a village or hamlet like Rough Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Rough Common homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St. Gabriel, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Canterbury West station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Managing a site like Blean Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Rough Common questions
I let a flat near Canterbury West station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Rough Common for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rough Common is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you’re paying for.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work has a one-year guarantee.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Rough Common, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Surface by surface
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
