Glazing & conservatory sealant in Wincheap, Kent
Problem with your glazing joints in Wincheap? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Wincheap
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames alike.
Houses in smaller places like Wincheap can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking around Wincheap is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Do you need glazing silicone in Wincheap?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Homes close to Church of St Mildred include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Wincheap homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Wincheap Foundation Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Canterbury East station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
