Landlord and commercial work in Snargate
Letting agents and landlords in Snargate can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Snargate
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include rooflight joints letting water in and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Snargate is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Snargate needs a little journey planning: 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 agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Windows and doors in Snargate
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Dunstan, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Snargate?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you need glazing silicone in Snargate?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
