About our glazing silicone in Yorkletts
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. If you have failed sealant around rooflight glass and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
Around Yorkletts, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Yorkletts
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
If you let a flat or house near Whitstable station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Yorkletts, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Yorkletts, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- We leave the area clean and tidy

FAQs for Yorkletts
Is Yorkletts within the area you cover?
Yes, Yorkletts is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the coastal weather in Yorkletts affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Frames and glazing around Yorkletts
Yorkletts is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Whitstable School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around St Alphege, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
