Glazing silicone in South Newington
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and cracked silicone between glass panels, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around South Newington is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlord and commercial work in South Newington
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in South Newington
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
Can I do it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Can tenants book the work?

Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in South Newington?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like South Newington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Wipe the screen down after showering
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Around South Newington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Frames and glazing around South Newington
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 Broughton Castle (about 3.1 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around South Newington as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter ad Vincula, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Around South Newington, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
