Glazing & conservatory sealant in Botley, Hampshire
We cover Botley for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. A visit to Botley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How we handle glazing silicone in Botley
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. Typical jobs include leaks from the base of a shower screen and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Houses in smaller places like Botley can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What glazing silicone looks like in Botley
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as South Stoneham House (about 4.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Botley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Botley Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Botley station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Botley is about 1 mile east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. We carry out glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Botley, as part of our work across Hampshire. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
All of SO30 is within our area for glazing silicone, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need glazing silicone at a property on High Street, Boswell Close and Bailey Close or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. You will find Botley on the A334, so it’s easy for us to get to with everything needed for glazing silicone. We also cover the places around Botley: Boorley Green (1 mile north), Curdridge (2 miles east), Curbridge (2 miles south-east), Durley (2 miles north) and Horton Heath (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Winchester (10 miles north), Gosport (9 miles south-east), Havant (13 miles east), Eastleigh (5 miles north-west), Fareham (6 miles south-east) and Horndean (12 miles east).
Around Botley
Typical jobs here are in homes near Wildern School, Wildern School and The Dolphin Hotel The Dolphin Public House. The closest station to Botley is Botley station, about 0.8 miles east. Well-known places in the area include Moorgreen Hospital (2.2 miles north-west) and Netley Castle (4.4 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Swanwick Lakes.
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. Around Botley, 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Cracked or broken glass
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Conservatory frames

What we’re called out for in Botley
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use

Questions from Botley
Do you cover Botley for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Botley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It does not last. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
