About our glazing silicone in Shirley
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about drips on the inside of a conservatory window and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Around Shirley, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Shirley and everywhere else we cover.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Shirley
Does the coastal weather in Shirley 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 generally the first to need attention.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Millbrook (Hants) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
We don’t replace glass. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. In an older home around Shirley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. A visit to Shirley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Signs you need glazing silicone in Shirley
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
If you look after a building such as Wordsworth Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Shirley homes and the weather
Shirley is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Millbrook (Hants) station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as Shirley Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
