Glazing & conservatory sealant in Southborough, Kent
Our applicators work in Southborough on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Glazing silicone in Southborough
We work across Southborough on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are rooflight joints letting water in and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Houses in smaller places like Southborough can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southborough as everywhere else we work.

Southborough homes and the weather
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 Penshurst Place (about 3.5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Southborough 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.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near High Brooms station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Southborough: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near High Brooms station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Southborough within the area you cover?
Yes, Southborough is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
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.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
What we’re called out for in Southborough
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
If you look after a building such as Southborough CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Before booking anyone

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Parking around Southborough is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
