Common questions in Westenhanger
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Westenhanger?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will you come out to Westenhanger?
Yes, Westenhanger is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Westenhanger
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are water escaping where a screen meets the wall and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Westenhanger is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Westenhanger, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
Glazing silicone in Westenhanger: local notes
Westenhanger is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Managing a site like Lympne Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to All Saints Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
