About our glazing silicone in Slindon Common
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Typical jobs include leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Slindon Common is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Slindon Common questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barnham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Slindon Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs, and the area is left clean.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Why it’s worth doing now in Slindon Common
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Slindon Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Windows and doors in Slindon Common
London and the South East are among the drier parts 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 Bignor Roman Villa (about 4.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Slindon Common as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Slindon CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Barnham station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
