How glazing silicone works in Southampton
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks from the base of a shower screen and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
What affects the price in Southampton
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. 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.

Frames and weather across Southampton
Southampton has everything from older homes with timber frames to newer ones with uPVC. Walls facing the weather take the most punishment.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building, wherever it is in Southampton. Along the coast in Southampton, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that is where sealant generally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Southampton: If you live in an older home near Saint Mary's, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near St Denys station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Southampton, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Southampton
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job 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
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Common questions in Southampton
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Southampton?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Do you come to Southampton?
Yes. We cover Southampton, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
