What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Roughdown, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Roughdown questions
Do you cover smaller places like Roughdown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Netley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Common problems we fix in Roughdown
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For landlords with property near Netley station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Glazing silicone in Roughdown: local notes
Roughdown 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Beaulieu Palace House, about 2.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Roughdown. Schools such as Blackfield Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Roughdown is about 3 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Jobs in Roughdown get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
