- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
How we handle glazing silicone in Birdham
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We’re often asked to deal with water running down inside the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
Homes in small places like Birdham often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Glass that needs replacing

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Birdham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glazing silicone in Birdham: local notes
Birdham is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
Homes close to St James' Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Fishbourne station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Birdham CE Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Questions from Birdham
Will you come out to Birdham?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Birdham?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across West Sussex.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
