About glazing silicone in East Sussex

Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Typical jobs include glass-to-glass joints that have split and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs.

  1. We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
  2. The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
  3. We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
  4. New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
  5. We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

Glazing silicone across East Sussex: local notes

From Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea to its smaller places, East Sussex has windows and doors of every age and material. 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. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building, wherever it is in East Sussex. Along the coast in East Sussex, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Eastbourne: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stafford Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Hampden Park station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Quotes for glazing silicone in East Sussex

We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The product the joint needs
  • Whether the work is at height

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.

What we need to know

To help us quote quickly, let us know:

  • Where the property is
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • How we’d reach the joints

To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Landlords and agents in East Sussex can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
  • Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
  • Check the silicone on glass every year or so
  • Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation

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.

Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.

Surface by surface

Glass-to-frame joints

The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.

Conservatory frames

Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
