Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Baffins
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We’re often asked to deal with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
In a smaller place like Baffins, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Baffins
Do you work for landlords with property near Fratton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Baffins?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Baffins?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Frames and glazing around Baffins
Baffins is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Warblington Castle (about 4.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Baffins has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Langstone Junior Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Fratton station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Baffins, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.

- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.

Advice
Why act early in Baffins
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a smaller place like Baffins, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Cracked or broken glass
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Use gentle products around the joints
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What else we do in Baffins
Common problems we fix in Baffins
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Cuthbert, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
