Glazing silicone in Southford
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are glass-to-glass joints that have split and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Southford is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Southford
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Southford?
Yes, Southford is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
What guarantee do I get?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job, glazing sealant included.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What affects the quote in Southford
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What we are called out for in Southford
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Homes close to Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
Windows and doors in Southford
Southford is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Shanklin station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Southford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Southford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
