Glazing silicone in Lower Upham, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on rooflights, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joints on frameless glass and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Around Lower Upham, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lower Upham and everywhere else we cover.

Lower Upham: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Lower Upham?
Yes, Lower Upham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Lower Upham within the area you cover?
Yes. Lower Upham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Lower Upham homes and the weather
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Hedge End station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Common problems we fix in Lower Upham
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement

Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
