Glazing silicone in Sittingbourne
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are glass-to-glass joints that have split and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Sittingbourne mixes older streets, where windows have often been replaced, with newer estates fitted with uPVC. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.

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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Common questions in Sittingbourne
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Sittingbourne?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
I let a flat near Sittingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
You get our 12-month guarantee on all our work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Sittingbourne homes and the weather
Sittingbourne is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Borden Grammar School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking in a town like Sittingbourne is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
