DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we handle glazing silicone in Ford
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 shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and people most often call us about leaks from the base of a shower screen and silicone pulling away from the glass.
In a village or hamlet like Ford, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Ford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.

Frames and glazing around Ford
Ford is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (about 4.8 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Ford station, 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 The Parish Church of St Andrew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Littlehampton Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
