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. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Glazing silicone in Hound
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and people most often call us about leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Around Hound, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What else we do in Hound
Signs you need glazing silicone in Hound
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint

What does glazing silicone cost?

Is there any odour?

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What glazing silicone looks like in Hound
Hound is within about 1 mile of 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hamble School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Netley station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Hound, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
