Glazing Silicone in Wichling
Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for homes and businesses in Wichling and across Kent. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Wichling
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. Typical jobs include failed sealant around rooflight glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen, across conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and shower screens.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Wichling is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Windows and doors in Wichling
With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 4.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wichling as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Lenham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.

Advice
FAQs for Wichling
Do you cover smaller places like Wichling?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Wichling for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wichling is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Glass that needs replacing
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
What happens if it’s left?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a small place like Wichling, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We are fully insured

Common problems we fix in Wichling
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Rooflight joints letting water in
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
