How we handle glazing silicone in Alresford
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Alresford, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. In an older home around Alresford, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

FAQs for Alresford
Does the coastal weather in Alresford affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you cover smaller places like Alresford?
Yes. Alresford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Glazing silicone in Alresford: local notes
Alresford is within about 2 miles of 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Saint Andrew's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Alresford Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Alresford station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
