How we handle glazing silicone in Thanington
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Many houses in smaller places like Thanington have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In an older home around Thanington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Thanington
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

- Roughly how big the job is

Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Thanington
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water running down inside the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Will you come out to Thanington?

Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?

Where do you work from?

A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.

A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit to Thanington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
