Windows and doors in Knapp
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Chandlers Ford station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Ampfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Glazing silicone in Knapp
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Typical jobs include glass-to-glass joints that have split and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and rooflights.
Somewhere as small as Knapp, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Do you need glazing silicone in Knapp?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
In the older streets around Church of St Mark, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.

Knapp: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Knapp?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Knapp is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Knapp?
Yes. Knapp is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Knapp, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
