Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
About our glazing silicone in Southover
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you are dealing with silicone pulling away from the glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can put it right.
Homes around Southover range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Southover and across East Sussex.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Southover
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Western Road Community Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Windows and doors in Southover
With historic houses such as Anne of Cleves House (about 0.2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Southover as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Lewes station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
Why act early in Southover
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Southover, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking around Southover is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
