Glazing Silicone in Bitterne
Our applicators work in Bitterne on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Rooflight joints letting water in

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
About our glazing silicone in Bitterne
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and failed joints on frameless glass.
Many houses in smaller places like Bitterne have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in Bitterne
Will you come out to Bitterne?
Yes. Bitterne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Bitterne?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Around Bitterne, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Cracked silicone between glass panels

Glazing silicone in Bitterne: local notes
Bitterne is within about 2 miles 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. With historic houses such as South Stoneham House (about 1.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bitterne as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Saviour, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Bitterne station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit to Bitterne is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
