Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we handle glazing silicone in Tickham
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and rooflight joints letting water in.
Around Tickham, 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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Tickham: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tickham?
Yes. Tickham 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Teynham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tickham
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. In a small place like Tickham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Glazing silicone in Tickham: local notes
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. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Tickham has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Lynsted and Norton Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Teynham station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Tickham, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
