About our glazing silicone in Skeete
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Typical jobs include leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
Somewhere as small as Skeete, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Skeete as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Skeete
Is Skeete within the area you cover?
Yes. Skeete is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Skeete?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Skeete is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Cracked or broken glass
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
What affects the quote in Skeete
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Skeete, 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.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Glazing silicone in Skeete: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (about 2.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Skeete as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Westenhanger station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Westenhanger Castle, about 2.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Skeete.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
What we’re called out for in Skeete
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Rooflight joints letting water in
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stowting Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
