Glazing & conservatory sealant in Drayton, Portsmouth

- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
About our glazing silicone in Drayton
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Homes around Drayton range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Drayton
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Windows and doors in Drayton
Drayton 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Cosham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Drayton Methodist Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Springfield School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
FAQs for Drayton
Do you work for landlords with property near Cosham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Drayton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Drayton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Drayton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
