Glazing silicone in Strood
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. Common call-outs are for new silicone smeared over old sealant and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Homes in small places like Strood 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 stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the quote in Strood
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Strood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Common questions in Strood
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Strood?
All our work, in Strood and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Strood within the area you cover?
Yes. Strood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
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 product needed can limit the range.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Strood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Frames and glazing around Strood
With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 2.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Strood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Rolvenden Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What’s near Strood
In Strood, that means homes and buildings near Turners Field and Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include The C.M Booth Collection (1 mile south-west) and Benenden Hospital (2.4 miles north-west).
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Strood
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Do you need glazing silicone in Strood?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water running down inside the glass
Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
