Upton questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Broadstairs station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Does the coastal weather in Upton affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Upton
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We’re often asked to deal with shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and mouldy sealant around glass panels, across glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
Many houses in smaller places like Upton have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. 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.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Upton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Shower screens

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.

Glazing silicone in Upton: local notes
Upton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Upton Junior School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Broadstairs station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Use gentle products around the joints
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
