North Fareham Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in North Fareham need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
When to call us in North Fareham
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How we handle glazing silicone in North Fareham
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about failed sealant around rooflight glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Somewhere as small as North Fareham, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in North Fareham
Do you cover smaller places like North Fareham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Fareham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Glazing silicone in North Fareham: local notes
North Fareham is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Harrison Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What else we do in North Fareham
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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 biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Why act early in North Fareham
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like North Fareham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as North Fareham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
