Glazing silicone in Colbury
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about drips on the inside of a conservatory window and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Around Colbury, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Questions from Colbury
Do you cover smaller places like Colbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Ashurst New Forest station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Colbury
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Landlord and commercial work in Colbury
For anyone letting property in or around Colbury, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Colbury and across Hampshire. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Windows and doors in Colbury
Colbury is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Foxhills Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Colbury Christ Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Nearby you’ll also find Ashurst Hospital (1 mile south-west) and National Dairy Museum (within half a mile south). Not far away are Testwood Lakes.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Colbury, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
