When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Cracked or broken glass
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint

Glazing silicone in Dunsbury, done properly
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Dunsbury is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Dunsbury, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
FAQs for Dunsbury
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Dunsbury any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you cover Dunsbury for glazing silicone?
Yes, Dunsbury is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
Frames and glazing around Dunsbury
Dunsbury is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In and around Dunsbury, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Dunsbury is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Jobs in Dunsbury get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Dunsbury is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We also work in Southampton, about 18 miles from Dunsbury.
All of PO30 is within our area for glazing silicone.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Dunsbury
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
In the older streets around St. Mary's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
