- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
How we handle glazing silicone in Rudmore
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. We work on rooflights, shower screens and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
In a smaller place like Rudmore, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Windows and doors in Rudmore
Rudmore is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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 Portsmouth & Southsea station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Rudmore, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Rudmore?
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Managing a site like The Flying Bull Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote

- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Are they insured?
- Whether you can choose the colour
Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. In an older home around Rudmore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

FAQs for Rudmore
Do you work for landlords with property near Portsmouth & Southsea station?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most jobs. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Rudmore
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
