How we handle glazing silicone in Forestside
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. If you have cracked silicone between glass panels and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Forestside often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Letting agents and landlords in Forestside can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Forestside, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the 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.
Preparing for the visit

- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Windows and doors in Forestside
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. Historic houses like Uppark (about 3.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Forestside has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Rowlands Castle station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Christ Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.

How long should I leave it?

Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you are paying for.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
