About our glazing silicone in Southbourne
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and failed joints on frameless glass.
In smaller places like Southbourne, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Glazing silicone in Southbourne: local notes
Southbourne is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near St. John's, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Southbourne station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Southbourne: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Southbourne any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for landlords with property near Southbourne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first, so you know what you are paying for.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Why act early in Southbourne
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Southbourne, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What we are called out for in Southbourne
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.

- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water running down inside the glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Southbourne Junior School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
