Glazing silicone in Forest Side, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you have water getting into a conservatory at the joints and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can help, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Forest Side is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What glazing silicone looks like in Forest Side
With historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle (about 1.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Forest Side as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts 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 St. Mary's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Carisbrooke College, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

- Glass that needs replacing

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Forest Side, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We check which it is.

How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
