Glazing silicone in Swanton, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can help, on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Swanton is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Swanton and across Kent.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Swanton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Swanton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

Swanton homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like Old Soar Manor (about 1.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Swanton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Dunstan, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Mereworth Community Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Wateringbury station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How we quote for glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
