Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in West Street
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you are dealing with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like West Street, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in West Street as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for West Street
Is West Street within the area you cover?
Yes, West Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lenham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
What guarantee do I get?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Signs you need glazing silicone in West Street
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Schools such as The Lenham School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Cracked or broken glass
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Glazing silicone in West Street: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, 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 4.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Leeds Castle, about 4.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around West Street, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Letting a property close to Lenham station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like West Street, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
