How we handle glazing silicone in Stanswood
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Stanswood, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Stanswood, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

FAQs for Stanswood
Is Stanswood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Stanswood?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us photos and we will take a look when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.

Why act early in Stanswood
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, 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 Stanswood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When to call us in Stanswood
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For an older house near a landmark such as St George, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job

What glazing silicone looks like in Stanswood
Stanswood is close to 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. With historic houses such as Osborne House (about 4.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stanswood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Hamble station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Glass-to-frame joints
