About our glazing silicone in Copnor
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. Common call-outs are for water running down inside the glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.
Houses in smaller places like Copnor can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Frames and glazing around Copnor
Copnor 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. Historic houses like Warblington Castle (about 4.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Copnor has older buildings as well as new. 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 Fratton station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Alban, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Copnor, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Questions from Copnor
Do you work for landlords with property near Fratton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Copnor affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Copnor.

Why act early in Copnor
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Copnor, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Do you need glazing silicone in Copnor?
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westover Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
