Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Hollingdean
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases.
Many houses in smaller places like Hollingdean have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
What affects the quote in Hollingdean
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

- Glass that needs replacing

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Windows and doors in Hollingdean
Hollingdean is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Preston Manor & Gardens (about 0.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Hollingdean has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near St Richard's, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Hertford Infant and Nursery School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Moulsecoomb station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
