What happens if it’s left?
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Houghton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Glazing silicone in Houghton, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Common call-outs are for conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, across glass balustrade bases, shower screens and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Houghton is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
FAQs for Houghton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Houghton?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Houghton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What else we do in Houghton
Windows and doors in Houghton
With historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey (about 3.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Houghton as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Test Valley School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water running down inside the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Rented homes near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
