How we handle glazing silicone in Fratton
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you’re dealing with failed joints on frameless glass and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can help.
Houses in smaller places like Fratton can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What glazing silicone looks like in Fratton
Fratton is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Penhale Infant School & Nursery, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Fratton is about 1 mile south-east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Fratton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
When to call us in Fratton
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Rented homes near Fratton station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
FAQs for Fratton
I let a flat near Fratton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Fratton any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you cover Fratton?
We do. Fratton is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Fratton?
