- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
How we handle glazing silicone in Gaskins
We work across Gaskins on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you have glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Gaskins, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases

What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gaskins can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Gaskins questions
I let a flat near Brading station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Gaskins 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.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Windows and doors in Gaskins
Gaskins is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Nunwell House (about 1.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Gaskins has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Brading station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near St Catherine-by-the-Green, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like St Helens Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Gaskins, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
