How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Shatterling, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Glazing silicone in Shatterling
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. Typical jobs include water escaping where a screen meets the wall and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on rooflights, conservatory frames and shower screens.
Around Shatterling, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
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: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common questions in Shatterling
Do you cover smaller places like Shatterling?

Do you have insurance?

What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.

Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you replace glass?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Shatterling
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you look after a building such as Wingham Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What glazing silicone looks like in Shatterling
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 2.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Shatterling has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Adisham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shatterling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
