Highleigh Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in Highleigh need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
How the visit works
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 how much there is to do. In a small place like Highleigh, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
How we handle glazing silicone in Highleigh
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and rooflight joints letting water in.
Homes in small places like Highleigh often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why act early in Highleigh
Resealing cannot 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 small place like Highleigh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

FAQs for Highleigh
Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Highleigh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
We do not replace glass. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Common problems we fix in Highleigh
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That is why we trace the leak first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Schools such as Sidlesham Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
Frames and glazing around Highleigh
Highleigh 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 is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Chichester station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
