Glazing silicone in Westwood, done properly
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. Typical jobs include failed sealant around rooflight glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
In a smaller place like Westwood, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Windows and doors in Westwood
Westwood is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Quex Park (about 2.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Westwood has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Margate station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St John the Baptist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. A visit to Westwood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Landlord and commercial work in Westwood
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.

Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Westwood questions
Do you cover smaller places like Westwood?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Westwood any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
When to call us in Westwood
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you look after a building such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
