What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Glazing silicone in Red Post Bridge
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and silicone pulling away from the glass.
In a village or hamlet like Red Post Bridge, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Glazing silicone in Red Post Bridge: local notes
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.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as John Hanson Community School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common problems we fix in Red Post Bridge
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
Why act early in Red Post Bridge
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. In a small place like Red Post Bridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
FAQs for Red Post Bridge
Do you cover smaller places like Red Post Bridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Red Post Bridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
