Glazing silicone in Brighton and Hove: how it works

Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are split or lifting silicone on glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases.

First, we check where the water gets in.
The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.

What you will pay

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Landmarks near Brighton

Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Fairlight Primary School, St Martin's Church and Park Crescent pub. You’ll also find Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College (0.9 miles west), Academy of Creative Training (0.9 miles south) and William Clarke Park (under half a mile east). Brighton has its own railway station: London Road (Brighton) station. Other landmarks nearby include Brighton General Hospital (0.7 miles east) and Old Police Cells Museum (1 mile south-west). For a walk, there’s Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.

Frames and weather across Brighton and Hove

Across Brighton and Hove, from Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill outwards, frames range from older timber to modern uPVC and aluminium. Each needs the right sealant, and every joint wears out eventually.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in Brighton and Hove. Along the coast in Brighton and Hove, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.

Brighton: For an older house near a landmark such as St Martin's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Fairlight Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why act early?

If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade.

Signs you need glazing silicone

Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.

The problems people generally mention when they call are:

Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed

Aftercare tips

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation

Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.

A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Brighton and Hove

How much there is to do

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What to tell us for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

Photos by email, if that’s easy
Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If someone has resealed it before
Roughly how big the job is

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can I do it myself?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Brighton and Hove questions

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.

Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?

In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.

Why not top up the existing silicone?

New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.

Do I need to be at home?

It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?

We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.

How long does glazing silicone take?

It depends on the size of the job, 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 will give you a better idea when we quote.
