Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Sandwich
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We are often asked to deal with failed sealant around rooflight glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on rooflights, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
Houses in smaller places like Sandwich can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Sandwich and everywhere else we cover.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Around Sandwich, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Advice
Sandwich homes and the weather
Sandwich is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces 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.
Schools such as Sandwich Infant School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Sandwich station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Sandwich is about 5 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Anywhere in CT13, our applicators can take on glazing silicone. Sandwich is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Chelmsford is on our list too, around 49 miles away.

Sandwich: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 work begins.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Sandwich any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you cover Sandwich?
We do. Our applicators work in Sandwich.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
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.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Common problems we fix in Sandwich
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Sandwich United Reformed Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A broken pane or roof panel
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
