DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Avisford
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on rooflights, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Around Avisford, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Avisford
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What glazing silicone looks like in Avisford
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Walberton and Binsted CofE Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Avisford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
