Trottiscliffe: your questions answered
Is Trottiscliffe within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Glazing silicone in Trottiscliffe
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Somewhere as small as Trottiscliffe, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Do you need glazing silicone in Trottiscliffe?
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water running down inside the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
If you look after a building such as Trottiscliffe Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What else we do in Trottiscliffe
Glazing silicone in Trottiscliffe: local notes
With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (about 4 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Trottiscliffe as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Borough Green & Wrotham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Trottiscliffe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.

Before we arrive
