Common problems we fix in St Nicholas at Wade
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Nicholas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What glazing silicone looks like in St Nicholas at Wade
St Nicholas at Wade is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Birchington-On-Sea station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Managing a site like St Nicholas At Wade Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Why act early in St Nicholas at Wade
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. In a small place like St Nicholas at Wade, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We agree the colour with you first

Surface by surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We check which it is.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
St Nicholas at Wade questions
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in St Nicholas at Wade?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you cover smaller places like St Nicholas at Wade?
Yes, St Nicholas at Wade is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
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 will explain our choice.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like St Nicholas at Wade, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
