Tankerton Glazing Silicone
Our applicators work in Tankerton on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Tankerton
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for failed joints on frameless glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Many houses in smaller places like Tankerton have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Tankerton as everywhere else we work.

Tankerton questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Whitstable station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Tankerton within the area you cover?
Yes. Tankerton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we are called out for in Tankerton
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Schools such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Windows and doors in Tankerton
Tankerton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, 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 Whitstable station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Cracked or broken glass
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
