Glazing silicone in Shipbourne, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Shipbourne is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Shipbourne
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Shipbourne?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us pictures and we will take a look when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Windows and doors in Shipbourne
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. With historic houses such as Ightham Mote (about 1.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shipbourne as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as Shipbourne School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Shipbourne
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Shipbourne, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Shipbourne
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shipbourne can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
