The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Friston is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Friston
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you are dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many houses in smaller places like Friston have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Friston questions
Does the coastal weather in Friston affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
I let a flat near Eastbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us pictures and we will take a look when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What does glazing silicone cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Windows and doors in Friston
Friston is within about 1 mile of 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Eastbourne station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Why act early in Friston
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. In a smaller place like Friston, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
