Your questions about glazing silicone in Hunston
Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Hunston?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How we handle glazing silicone in Hunston
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Somewhere as small as Hunston, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Hunston
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
For an older house near a landmark such as St Leodegar's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glazing silicone in Hunston: local notes
Hunston is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Chichester station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Mundham Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
