How glazing silicone works in West Sussex

Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job.

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.
We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

Frames and weather across West Sussex

In West Sussex, glazing silicone work takes in houses, flats, conservatories and commercial glazing, from Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to the quieter places in between. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast plays its part.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across West Sussex is planned around the weather. Along the coast in West Sussex, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, which is hard on sealant and grout.

Crawley: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Three Bridges Junior School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Crawley station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How we quote for glazing silicone

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

Mould in or behind the old joints
The number and length of the joints
How many areas need sealing
The old material and how stubborn it is

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

For landlords and businesses

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.

When something else is needed

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

A sealed unit that has misted inside
Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
A broken pane or roof panel

Common problems we fix in West Sussex

Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Split or lifting silicone on glass

Should I try it myself first?

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.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Questions from West Sussex

Do you cover West Sussex?

Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes West Sussex.

Why not top up the existing silicone?

Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in West Sussex?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

What sealant do you use on glazing?

A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
