Glazing silicone in West Cross: local notes
With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 3.7 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Cross as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Glazing silicone in West Cross, done properly
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can put it right.
Around West Cross, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in West Cross and everywhere else we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
What we’re called out for in West Cross
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you look after a building such as Rolvenden Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
- What preparation is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like West Cross needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Use gentle products around the joints
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Landlord and commercial work in West Cross
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in West Cross and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Why act early in West Cross
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that is not the case. In a small place like West Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
