How we handle glazing silicone in Old Netley

A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.

Around Old Netley, 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.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When it isn’t the sealant

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

  • Structural problems with a conservatory roof
  • Frames that have decayed or split
  • Cracked or broken glass

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Glass-to-glass joints
  • Rooflights
  • Conservatory frames
  • Glass-to-frame joints
  • Shower screens
  • Glass balustrade bases

What happens on the day

On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Old Netley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
  2. Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
  3. The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
  4. Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
  5. We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.

Preparing for the visit

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What happens if it’s left?

A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In a small place like Old Netley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What you get with us

  • Colour picked to suit the job
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

What glazing silicone looks like in Old Netley

Old Netley is within about 2 miles of 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Letting a property close to Bursledon station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near St Paul’s Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Act on drips or damp patches early
  • Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Squeegee the shower screen after each use
  • Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves

Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.

Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Old Netley

On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.

Look out for these signs:

  • Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
  • Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
  • Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
  • Stained, discoloured glazing silicone

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What your quote should include

  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • Whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee
