Glazing silicone across Portsmouth: what to expect
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on how much there is to do.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

Windows and doors across Portsmouth
Our glazing silicone work across Portsmouth covers homes, flats and businesses, from Southsea, Milton and Landport to the quieter places in between. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast plays its part.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in Portsmouth is planned around the forecast. Along the coast in Portsmouth, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Portsmouth: Letting a property close to Fratton station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Manor Infant School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Landlord and commercial work in Portsmouth
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too across Portsmouth. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Glass that needs replacing
Why it fails
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water running down inside the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Common questions in Portsmouth
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
