Glazing silicone in Shorthampton
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We are often asked to deal with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and glass-to-glass joints that have split, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Shorthampton, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Shorthampton
Do you cover smaller places like Shorthampton?
Yes. Shorthampton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Charlbury station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Why deal with it now?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing. Around Shorthampton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Frames and glazing around Shorthampton
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.

What we are called out for in Shorthampton
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
