Anthill Common homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

About our glazing silicone in Anthill Common
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Typical jobs include failed joints on frameless glass and rooflight joints letting water in, across rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Anthill Common, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we are called out for in Anthill Common
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Look out for these signs:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
If you let a flat or house near Portchester station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Questions from Anthill Common
Is Anthill Common in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Anthill Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Anthill Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It does not last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Landlord and commercial work in Anthill Common
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
