About our glazing silicone in Sheldwich Lees
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We’re often asked to deal with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and silicone pulling away from the glass, across glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and shower screens.
Homes in small places like Sheldwich Lees often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
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.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Sheldwich Lees?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
What glazing silicone looks like in Sheldwich Lees
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, 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 1.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Sheldwich Lees 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.
If you let a flat or house near Selling station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sheldwich Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sheldwich Lees can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Sheldwich Lees
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
