Glazing Silicone in Walter's Green
Glazing joints in Walter's Green need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water running down inside the glass
How we handle glazing silicone in Walter's Green
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you are dealing with leaks from the base of a shower screen and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Walter's Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. In a small place like Walter's Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- 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.
- 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.

Advice
Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Towns and villages near Walter's Green
What else we do in Walter's Green
What we are called out for in Walter's Green
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
If you look after a building such as Fordcombe Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use gentle products around the joints
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
What glazing silicone looks like in Walter's Green
Historic houses like Penshurst Place (about 2.1 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Walter's Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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 live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Ashurst Kent station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
