Frames and glazing around Pett
Pett 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. Historic houses like Lamb House (about 4.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Pett has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around St Mary & St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

About our glazing silicone in Pett
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Homes in small places like Pett often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Pett
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Pett any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Three Oaks station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
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. Somewhere as small as Pett, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What we are called out for in Pett
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Letting a property close to Three Oaks station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
