How we handle glazing silicone in Shalcombe
Glass replacement is not something we do, 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 are often asked to deal with new silicone smeared over old sealant and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.
In a village or hamlet like Shalcombe, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
If you’re in Shalcombe and need glazing silicone, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Questions from Shalcombe
Can you do glazing silicone in Shalcombe?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shalcombe is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Shalcombe any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shalcombe
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak generally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Shalcombe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What glazing silicone looks like in Shalcombe
Shalcombe 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. With historic houses such as Mottistone Manor (about 1.3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shalcombe as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Around Shalcombe, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. Homes close to St. Mary's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
