Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Fontwell
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you are dealing with cracked silicone between glass panels and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can put it right, on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Fontwell is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fontwell
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fontwell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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 make a difference.

What we’re called out for in Fontwell
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Frames and glazing around Fontwell
Historic houses like Goodwood House (about 4.2 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Fontwell 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ormiston Six Villages Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Historic houses such as Goodwood House, about 4.2 miles west, show how far back building around Fontwell goes.

Fontwell: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barnham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Fontwell in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Fontwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you are paying for.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Fontwell, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
