About our glazing silicone in East Dean
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and failed joints on frameless glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in East Dean is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like East Dean needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What affects the quote in East Dean
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
East Dean homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as West Dean House (about 2.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around East Dean as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In and around East Dean, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We check which it is.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Do you need glazing silicone in East Dean?
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
- What the cure time is
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Dean can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. The new bead can’t grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across West Sussex.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
