About our glazing silicone in Gatcombe
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include water running down inside the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
In a village or hamlet like Gatcombe, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gatcombe
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gatcombe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Signs you need glazing silicone in Gatcombe
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
For an older house near a landmark such as St. Olave's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
What to look for in a quote

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Gatcombe, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What glazing silicone looks like in Gatcombe
With historic houses such as Gatcombe House (about 0.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Gatcombe as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
