Sompting: your questions answered
Is Sompting within the area you cover?
Yes. Sompting is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lancing station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you replace glass?
We do not replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Glazing silicone in Sompting, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you have a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
In smaller places like Sompting, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. In a smaller place like Sompting, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. Parking around Sompting is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Sompting
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
If you live in an older home near St Peter the Apostle, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What glazing silicone looks like in Sompting
Sompting is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
If you look after a building such as Sompting Village Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Lancing station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
