About our glazing silicone in Saltwood
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can put it right, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and conservatory frames alike.
Somewhere as small as Saltwood, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Saltwood
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What glazing silicone looks like in Saltwood
Saltwood is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Saltwood CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Sandling station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Saltwood, access is generally 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.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Common questions in Saltwood
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Saltwood any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
I let a flat near Sandling station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us pictures and we’ll take a look.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
