About our glazing silicone in Hounsdown
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 we reseal both. We work on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are new silicone smeared over old sealant and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Homes around Hounsdown range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Hounsdown questions
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Hounsdown?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Hounsdown within the area you cover?
Yes. Hounsdown is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us pictures and we will take a look.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Glazing silicone in Hounsdown: local notes
Hounsdown is within about 2 miles of 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. With historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (about 4.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hounsdown as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Colbury Christ Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Totton station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Advice
Why act early in Hounsdown
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. In a smaller place like Hounsdown, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

When to call us in Hounsdown
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Managing a site like Hounsdown School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
What affects the quote in Hounsdown
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
