Glazing & conservatory sealant in Atherington, West Sussex
We cover Atherington for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Glazing silicone in Atherington, done properly
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about leaks from the base of a shower screen and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Atherington is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Atherington questions
I let a flat near Littlehampton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Atherington?
Yes, Atherington is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.

What else we do in Atherington
Atherington homes and the weather
Atherington is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Littlehampton station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to Bailiffscourt Chapel include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Atherington is about 2 miles west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Our applicators cover glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Atherington. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex. We also work in Brighton, about 20 miles from Atherington.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work 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. For a village or hamlet like Atherington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
