Advice
Glazing silicone in Bonchurch, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about water tracking down the inner face of the glass and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Homes in small places like Bonchurch 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Bonchurch
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Bonchurch?
Yes, Bonchurch is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
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.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Bonchurch?
We don’t 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. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Bonchurch
What glazing silicone looks like in Bonchurch
Bonchurch is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Rylstone Manor (about 1.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bonchurch 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Old St. Boniface Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Schools such as St Catherine's School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Why deal with it now?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a small place like Bonchurch, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
