DIY versus a professional finish
If you are 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
About our glazing silicone in Paulsgrove
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Many houses in smaller places like Paulsgrove have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Paulsgrove: your questions answered
Is Paulsgrove within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Paulsgrove 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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Paulsgrove homes and the weather
Paulsgrove 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. 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.
Homes close to St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Cosham station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as Beacon View Primary Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

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 job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. For a job in Paulsgrove, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Advice
How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. In a smaller place like Paulsgrove, 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
