Hightown Glazing Silicone
Problem with your glazing joints in Hightown? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Hightown
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are silicone pulling away from the glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Around Hightown, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.

Common problems we fix in Hightown
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water running down inside the glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Glazing silicone in Hightown: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House (about 3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hightown as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Ringwood Junior School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
