Related advice
Glazing silicone in Rudley Green, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about water escaping where a screen meets the wall and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Rudley Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we are called out for in Rudley Green
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water running down inside the glass
For landlords with property near North Fambridge station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)

What affects the quote in Rudley Green
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Questions from Rudley Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near North Fambridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Rudley Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Rudley Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Rudley Green homes and the weather
Rudley Green is within about 3 miles 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Purleigh Community Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
