Grateley Glazing Silicone
Our applicators work in Grateley on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Glazing silicone in Grateley, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We are often asked to deal with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and new silicone smeared over old sealant, across shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
In a village or hamlet like Grateley, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we are called out for in Grateley
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Letting a property close to Grateley station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- 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)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do

What glazing silicone looks like in Grateley
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.
Schools such as Grateley Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Grateley is about 6 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. If you need glazing silicone in Grateley, it’s easy to get a quote: please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Work in SP11 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes and businesses on High Street, Station Road and Hawthorne Close and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Palestine (1 mile south-west), Quarley (1 mile north), Fox (1 mile north-east), Amport (2 miles north-east) and Kentsboro (2 miles south-east).

Well-known places in the area include Andover War Memorial Hospital (5.4 miles north-east). Open spaces near Grateley include Winterbourne Downs RSPB reserve and Quarley Hill.
Why it’s worth doing now in Grateley
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a small place like Grateley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, 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, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Grateley: your questions answered
Is Grateley in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Grateley is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Grateley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Grateley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
