Branstone Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone across Branstone and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Glazing silicone in Branstone, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and failed joints on frameless glass, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights alike.
In a village or hamlet like Branstone, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Branstone
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shanklin station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Branstone?
Yes. Branstone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Branstone and the rest of the Isle of Wight.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Windows and doors in Branstone
Branstone is within about 3 miles of 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. 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.
Schools such as Newchurch Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Branstone is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO36 area, our applicators can take on glazing silicone. Branstone is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we work for glazing silicone. Our Portsmouth page covers work nearby, about 12 miles away.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Branstone
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
The most common problems we see are:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For landlords with property near Shanklin station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Branstone, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Ask for a quote

Related advice
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
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 play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
