Poling Glazing Silicone
Problem with your glazing joints in Poling? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Glazing silicone in Poling, done properly
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are leaks from the base of a shower screen and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Around Poling, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Poling
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Frames and glazing around Poling
Poling is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as The Littlehampton Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Arundel station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

FAQs for Poling
Does the coastal weather in Poling affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Arundel station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.

What else we do in Poling
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Poling, 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.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
