About our glazing silicone in Carlton Hill
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you are dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and failed joints on frameless glass, we can help, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames alike.
Homes around Carlton Hill range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Carlton Hill and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Carlton Hill
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
If you live in an older home near Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

FAQs for Carlton Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Brighton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Carlton Hill affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
What guarantee do I get?
You get our one-year guarantee on all our work.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Cracked or broken glass
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job from start to finish. Parking around Carlton Hill is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Advice
What glazing silicone looks like in Carlton Hill
Carlton Hill is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Carlton Hill Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Brighton station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
