Glazing silicone in Hollingbury, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and cracked silicone between glass panels, across rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Around Hollingbury, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Hollingbury homes and the weather
Hollingbury is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Preston Manor & Gardens (about 1.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Hollingbury has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Moulsecoomb station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Preston Manor & Gardens, about 1.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hollingbury, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In an older home around Hollingbury, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we are called out for in Hollingbury
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That’s why we trace the leak first.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Schools such as Carden Nursery and Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a job in Hollingbury, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.

How to prepare
