How we handle glazing silicone in Abbotswood
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Around Abbotswood, 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 guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Abbotswood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Windows and doors in Abbotswood
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. Historic houses like Mottisfont Abbey (about 3.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Abbotswood has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Swithun's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Cupernham Infant School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Abbotswood, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When to call us in Abbotswood
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
