Glazing silicone in Hampshire: how it works

Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for leaks from the base of a shower screen and cracked silicone between glass panels, across glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.

Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job.

  1. First we agree the joints to be done.
  2. We cut away the failed silicone.
  3. We clean and prepare the joint.
  4. We apply and tool the new silicone.
  5. We inspect the work and test it where we can.

What affects the price in Hampshire

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Glazing silicone across Hampshire: local notes

In Hampshire, glazing silicone work takes in houses, flats, conservatories and commercial glazing, in Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport and well beyond. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast plays its part.

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in Hampshire, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in. Along the coast in Hampshire, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.

Basingstoke: In the older streets around St Michael's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Basingstoke station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Get a new leak looked at quickly
  • Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Keep air moving in the conservatory
  • Squeegee the shower screen after each use

Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.

Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

Leave it or put it right?

A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so.

Landlord and commercial work in Hampshire

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

How the job changes by surface

Rooflights

Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.

Shower screens

Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.

When something else is needed

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Failed flashing around a conservatory
  • A frame that needs repairing or replacing
  • Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
