How we handle glazing silicone in Westwell Leacon
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are leaks from the base of a shower screen and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
Homes in small places like Westwell Leacon often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a small place like Westwell Leacon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Glazing silicone in Westwell Leacon: 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 Godinton House (about 2.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Westwell Leacon as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Charing Methodist 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. For landlords with property near Charing station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hayesbrook School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Glass that needs replacing
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.

Advice
Other services in Westwell Leacon
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
