When to call us in Old Alresford
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water running down inside the glass
If you look after a building such as Perins School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

About our glazing silicone in Old Alresford
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you’re dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Old Alresford, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Old Alresford
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Old Alresford?
All our work, in Old Alresford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Old Alresford?
Yes, Old Alresford is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Hampshire.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens

Frames and glazing around Old Alresford

In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
