About our glazing silicone in Sheldwich
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are glass-to-glass joints that have split and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Sheldwich is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sheldwich
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sheldwich, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Windows and doors in Sheldwich
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. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens (about 1.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Sheldwich 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 look after a building such as Sheldwich Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Selling station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Sheldwich
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Sheldwich, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Sheldwich: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Sheldwich?
Yes, Sheldwich is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Selling station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Do you replace glass?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Sheldwich?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
