Glazing silicone in Botolphs
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. We’re often asked to deal with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
In a village or hamlet like Botolphs, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Botolphs as everywhere else we work.

Botolphs homes and the weather
Historic houses like Portslade Manor (about 4.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Botolphs has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Shoreham-By-Sea station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Upper Beeding Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as St Botolph's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Landlord and commercial work in Botolphs
Landlords and letting agents in Botolphs can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
Botolphs questions
Will you come out to Botolphs?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you replace glass?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Botolphs?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Botolphs, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
