When to call us in Shopwyke
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westbourne House School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Shopwyke
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. If you have water running down inside the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Shopwyke is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shopwyke and across West Sussex.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Glazing silicone in Shopwyke: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Goodwood House (about 2.1 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shopwyke as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Chichester station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Peter include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We don’t install or replace glass.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shopwyke
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shopwyke, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Common questions in Shopwyke
Can you do glazing silicone in Shopwyke?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shopwyke is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Shopwyke?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Which products do you use?
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.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
