Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Tovil
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you’re dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
Around Tovil, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. 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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Homes in smaller places like Tovil can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Tovil customers choose us
- We agree the colour with you first
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Full insurance on every job
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Frames and glazing around Tovil
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. With historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 3.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tovil as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Maidstone West station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around St Michael and All Angels Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the amount of work. Parking around Tovil is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Tovil?
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Managing a site like Archbishop Courtenay Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
