What we do, step by step

The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Lordswood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- 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.

Glazing silicone in Lordswood
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We’re often asked to deal with glass-to-glass joints that have split and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Lordswood, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Southampton.

Common questions in Lordswood
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Lordswood any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Do you cover smaller places like Lordswood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
What sealant 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. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
What glazing silicone looks like in Lordswood
Lordswood is within about 3 miles of 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Oakwood Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Millbrook (Hants) station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. In the older streets around Lord's Hill Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Around Lordswood
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to St James' Park, Upper Shirley High School and Oaklands Community School. The closest station to Lordswood is Millbrook (Hants) station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Marlands Shopping Centre (2.8 miles south-east) and Princess Anne Hospital (0.5 miles south). Not far away are Testwood Lakes.
Why act early in Lordswood
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Lordswood, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
