How glazing silicone works in the Isle of Wight

Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. Common call-outs are for glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing.

First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

What’s near Newport

We work in homes and buildings around Seaclose Park, Castle Inn and Island Innovation VI Form Campus and the streets around them. Also close by are Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west) and Nine Acres Primary School (within half a mile south). Nearby you’ll also find Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

Frames and weather across the Isle of Wight

From Newport, Ryde and Cowes to its smaller places, the Isle of Wight 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. Parts of the Isle of Wight are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.

Newport: If you look after a building such as Nine Acres Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Carisbrooke Castle, about 1 mile south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Newport.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

Access and height
Which sealant suits the joint
Any mould that needs treating
How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

What to tell us for a quote

You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:

Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The rough size of the job
What’s wrong with the joints now
How we’d reach the joints

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Avoid scraping close to the bead
Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Get a new leak looked at quickly

Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.

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

What happens if it’s left?

Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead.

DIY versus a professional finish

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

The Isle of Wight: your questions answered

Can you just put new silicone over the old?

New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.

Will there be a smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

When is the sealant fully cured?

It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Do you replace glass?

Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
