Glazing & conservatory sealant in Snowdown, Kent

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Snowdown
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you’re dealing with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Snowdown 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. In a small place like Snowdown, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Snowdown
Glazing silicone in Snowdown: local notes
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Snowdown has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
If you look after a building such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near St Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Snowdown, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
