How we handle glazing silicone in Saltdean
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about split or lifting silicone on glass and cracked silicone between glass panels.
Around Saltdean, 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, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a smaller place like Saltdean, 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.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What else we do in Saltdean
Saltdean homes and the weather
Saltdean 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’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near St Nicholas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Saltdean Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Common problems we fix in Saltdean
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Letting a property close to Southease station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Saltdean
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Homes in smaller places like Saltdean can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Saltdean: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Southease station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Saltdean affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
