Elson Glazing Silicone
Problem with your glazing joints in Elson? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
How we handle glazing silicone in Elson
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you have water running down inside the glass and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can put it right, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights alike.
Houses in smaller places like Elson can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a job in Elson, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Why it’s worth doing now in Elson
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Homes in smaller places like Elson can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Elson homes and the weather
Elson 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. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Portsmouth Harbour station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Elson is about 1 mile north of Gosport, in Hampshire. Elson gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Elson is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for glazing silicone.
Work in PO12 and PO13 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need glazing silicone at a property on Ham Lane, Quay Lane and Avery Lane or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. Being close to the A32, Elson is simple for us to get to for glazing silicone. Other places close to Elson include Gosport (1 mile south), Forton (1 mile south), Bridgemary (1 mile north-west), Priddy's Hard (1 mile south-east) and Rowner (1 mile north-west).

Around Elson

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
What we are called out for in Elson
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Elson Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Elson: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Elson?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
I let a flat near Portsmouth Harbour station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us pictures and we will take a look.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
