Glazing silicone in Pound Hill, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Common call-outs are for a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Around Pound Hill, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Pound Hill
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Look out for these signs:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Homes close to St Barnabas' include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs.

- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What glazing silicone looks like in Pound Hill
Pound Hill is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in. 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.
Letting a property close to Three Bridges station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Managing a site like Pound Hill Infant Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What else we do in Pound Hill
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
FAQs for Pound Hill
Is Pound Hill 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 it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Pound Hill?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s normally worth it. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Pound Hill.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Around Pound Hill, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
