Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Glazing silicone in Chilworth Old Village, done properly
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Common call-outs are for glass-to-glass joints that have split and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across shower screens, conservatory frames and rooflights.
In a village or hamlet like Chilworth Old Village, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Frames and glazing around Chilworth Old Village
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as South Stoneham House (about 2.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chilworth Old Village 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.
If you let a flat or house near Chandlers Ford station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around Church of St Denys, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Do you need glazing silicone in Chilworth Old Village?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Water running down inside the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
If you look after a building such as North Baddesley Junior School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chilworth Old Village can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
