East Cowes Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in East Cowes need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water running down inside the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
How we handle glazing silicone in East Cowes
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. If you have stained, discoloured glazing silicone and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights alike.
Homes around East Cowes range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in East Cowes
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on how much there is to do. For a job in East Cowes, 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 check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

East Cowes: your questions answered
Will you come out to East Cowes?
Yes. East Cowes is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in East Cowes?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and East Cowes is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
Do you need glazing silicone in East Cowes?
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
If you look after a building such as Isle of Wight Studio School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Glazing silicone in East Cowes: local notes
East Cowes is close to 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near St James's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
