Glazing silicone in Colwell, done properly
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’re dealing with failed sealant around rooflight glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Colwell, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. 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 as standard.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What glazing silicone looks like in Colwell
Colwell is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Christ Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Lymington Pier station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like All Saints Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Colwell questions
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Colwell any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lymington Pier station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a small place like Colwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
