Glazing silicone in Sherborne St John, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down inside the glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Sherborne St John is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Sherborne St John and across Hampshire.

Glazing silicone in Sherborne St John: local notes
With historic houses such as The Vyne (about 1.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sherborne St John as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Homes close to Church of St. Andrew include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Sherborne St John Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak generally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sherborne St John, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Do you need glazing silicone in Sherborne St John?
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Rented homes near Basingstoke station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We do not install or replace glass.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
