South Stour Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for South Stour, backed by a one-year guarantee. Call for a quick quote.
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
How we handle glazing silicone in South Stour
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water running down inside the glass.
Somewhere as small as South Stour, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What sealant work can’t fix
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 roof that has moved or dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like South Stour needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

What glazing silicone looks like in South Stour
With historic houses such as Godinton House (about 4.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around South Stour as well as newer homes. 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.
Managing a site like Finberry Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Historic houses such as Godinton House, about 4.8 miles north-west, show how far back building around South Stour goes. Letting a property close to Ashford International station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in South Stour?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Why it’s worth doing now in South Stour
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Around South Stour, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
