Glazing silicone in Gunville, done properly

Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. If you have sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can put it right, on rooflights, shower screens and glass balustrade bases alike.

In a village or hamlet like Gunville, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Frames and glazing around Gunville

Historic houses like Carisbrooke Castle (about 0.8 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Gunville has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.

Homes close to St. Mary's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Gunville is about 1 mile west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight.

What affects the quote in Gunville

We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The number and length of the joints
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • The number of rooms or windows

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, let us know:

  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Where the property is
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs

For glazing silicone in Gunville, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.

What the job involves on each surface

Rooflights

Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.

Shower screens

Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.

Aftercare tips

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
  • Squeegee the shower screen after each use
  • Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
  • Look over the glazing joints once a year

Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.

Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.

Should I try it myself first?

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

How the visit works

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Gunville, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
  2. Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
  3. The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
  4. We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
  5. The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Common problems we fix in Gunville

Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.

The problems people generally mention when they call are:

  • Split or lifting silicone on glass
  • Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
  • Failed joints on frameless glass
  • New silicone smeared over old sealant

Managing a site like Carisbrooke College? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Before you book anyone

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Whether VAT is included
  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it
