Upstreet Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone across Upstreet and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Upstreet

Glazing silicone in Upstreet, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you are dealing with glass-to-glass joints that have split and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help, on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and shower screens alike.
Somewhere as small as Upstreet, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Upstreet, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why act early in Upstreet
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Around Upstreet, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Upstreet homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Chislet Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Sturry station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
