About our glazing silicone in Old Shoreham
Across Old Shoreham, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Old Shoreham is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Old Shoreham and across West Sussex.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Around Old Shoreham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Windows and doors in Old Shoreham
Old Shoreham is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicolas' Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Swiss Gardens Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Old Shoreham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. In a small place like Old Shoreham, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints

Your questions about glazing silicone in Old Shoreham
Do you cover smaller places like Old Shoreham?
Yes. Old Shoreham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Old Shoreham any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Common problems we fix in Old Shoreham
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you let a flat or house near Shoreham-By-Sea station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
