How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Hillhead, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Homes close to St George include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What glazing silicone looks like in Hillhead
Hillhead is close to 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. With historic houses such as Osborne House (about 4.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hillhead as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Hamble station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

FAQs for Hillhead
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Hillhead any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hamble station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Hillhead?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re 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.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints

Why act early in Hillhead
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hillhead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
