About our glazing silicone in Selsted
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. If you are dealing with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can put it right.
Around Selsted, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Selsted and across Kent.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Selsted, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Selsted
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Selsted, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Glazing silicone in Selsted: local notes
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. Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 2.2 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Selsted has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Shepherds Well station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Selsted Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
