About our glazing silicone in Fareham
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Walls in Fareham that face the prevailing wind take the most weather, and that is usually where the sealant gives up first. It’s worth looking at every frame, not just the one that leaks.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water running down inside the glass
Schools such as St Jude's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Fareham homes and the weather
Fareham is within about 2 miles 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Fareham station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as St John The Evangelist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Around Fareham, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
