Glazing silicone in Throwley, done properly
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for rooflight joints letting water in and cracked silicone between glass panels, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Throwley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Throwley
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. Somewhere like Throwley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Windows and doors in Throwley
Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens (about 0.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Throwley 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What else we do in Throwley
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Throwley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Full insurance on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
Take a look at how sealant jobs are priced and our reviews.
Do you need glazing silicone in Throwley?
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Letting a property close to Faversham station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
