Windows and doors in Fawley Bottom
Historic houses like Stonor Park (about 1.5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Fawley Bottom has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

About our glazing silicone in Fawley Bottom
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Somewhere as small as Fawley Bottom, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Fawley Bottom
Signs you need glazing silicone in Fawley Bottom
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Homes close to St Mary the Virgin's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Advice
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Questions from Fawley Bottom
Is Fawley Bottom within the area you cover?
Yes. Fawley Bottom is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Fawley Bottom for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Fawley Bottom is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
