Frames and glazing around South Street
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Belmont House and Gardens (about 4.4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around South Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Selling station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in South Street
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you’re dealing with mouldy sealant around glass panels and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like South Street often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

FAQs for South Street
Do you work for landlords with property near Selling station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is South Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Street
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like South Street, 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 trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
What we are called out for in South Street
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Look out for these signs:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
