What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Plaish
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. Common call-outs are for water running down inside the glass and silicone pulling away from the glass, across shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases.
In a village or hamlet like Plaish, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Common problems we fix in Plaish
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
If you are in Plaish and need glazing silicone, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Around Plaish, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Plaish homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle (about 0.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Plaish as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Church of St. Nicholas in Castro include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Plaish needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Questions from Plaish
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Plaish?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Plaish in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Plaish is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
