Glazing silicone in Ulcombe: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Leeds Castle (about 2.5 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ulcombe 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.
If you look after a building such as Ulcombe Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Harrietsham station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Ulcombe is about 6 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. We provide glazing silicone to homes and businesses in Ulcombe and the surrounding area, as part of our work across Kent. Ulcombe is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover for glazing silicone. Our London page covers work nearby.

Glazing silicone in Ulcombe

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
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 type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Ulcombe questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Harrietsham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Ulcombe?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What we’re called out for in Ulcombe
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
In the older streets around All Saints Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Ulcombe, the journey is planned in advance: 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 agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
