What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. For a job in Eastleigh, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How we handle glazing silicone in Eastleigh
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are rooflight joints letting water in and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Plenty of homes in a town like Eastleigh have had conservatories, patio doors or new windows added over the years. Each one adds more joints to look after, and those joints age at different rates. Sills, frame heads and glazing joints are where leaks usually start.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
Do you need glazing silicone in Eastleigh?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
In the older streets around Church of the Resurrection, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.

Frames and glazing around Eastleigh
Historic houses like South Stoneham House (about 2.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Eastleigh has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Norwood Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Eastleigh station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Eastleigh has its own railway station: Eastleigh station. A little further out are Moorgreen Hospital (2.9 miles south) and Eastleigh Museum (less than half a mile west).

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy home in Eastleigh they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
