About our glazing silicone in Small Dole
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Small Dole is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

When to call us in Small Dole
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For landlords with property near Shoreham-By-Sea station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Landlord and commercial work in Small Dole
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote

- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere as small as Small Dole, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Glazing silicone in Small Dole: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Portslade Manor (about 4.8 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Small Dole has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Portslade Manor, about 4.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Small Dole, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
