- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water running down inside the glass
How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Sprat's Down, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

How we handle glazing silicone in Sprat's Down
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. If you have split or lifting silicone on glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Sprat's Down, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Sprat's Down, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Other services in Sprat's Down
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
How we quote for glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Frames that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Frames and glazing around Sprat's Down
Sprat's Down 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. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around St George, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Fawley Infant School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Hamble station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
