About our glazing silicone in Northam
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you’re dealing with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can help, on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints alike.
In smaller places like Northam, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Northam
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bitterne Manor Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Northam homes and the weather
Northam is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (about 1.3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Northam as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Bitterne station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Homes close to Church of St Augustine include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Northam is about 1 mile south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Across the SO14 area, our applicators can take on glazing silicone. Our area takes in 40 places across Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across SO14, SO19 and SO18 for glazing silicone. That includes homes and businesses on Sea Road, Lumpy Lane and Cross Road. Nearby, we also carry out glazing silicone in Peartree Green (1 mile south), Bitterne Manor (1 mile north), Itchen (1 mile south-east), St Mary's (1 mile south-west) and Bitterne (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Regents Park (3 miles west), Maybush (3 miles north-west), Coxford (3 miles north-west), Lordswood (3 miles north-west), Eling (5 miles west) and Rownhams (4 miles north-west).
Landmarks near Northam
We work in homes and buildings around Inspire Enterprise Academy, East Park and The Engineers Arms and the streets around them. The closest station to Northam is Bitterne station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Bitterne Local History Society Heritage And Research Centre (0.8 miles east) and Marlands Shopping Centre (1.2 miles west). The countryside around Northam includes Netley Common.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. In a smaller place like Northam, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Northam is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Advice
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Northam: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Northam 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.
I let a flat near Bitterne station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job, glazing sealant included.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
