Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Mid Lavant
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are glass-to-glass joints that have split and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Mid Lavant is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Condensation trapped between two panes
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Mid Lavant, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Do you need glazing silicone in Mid Lavant?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
If you let a flat or house near Fishbourne station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What glazing silicone looks like in Mid Lavant
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Goodwood House (about 1.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Mid Lavant has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Lavant CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Mid Lavant
Do you work for landlords with property near Fishbourne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Mid Lavant within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll tell you when we quote.
