About our glazing silicone in Strettington
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Strettington is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Windows and doors in Strettington
Historic houses like Goodwood House (about 0.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Strettington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Chichester station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What affects the quote in Strettington
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

What else we do in Strettington
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Strettington, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Cracked or broken glass
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
What we are called out for in Strettington
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Managing a site like Boxgrove CofE Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
Why it’s worth doing now in Strettington
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Around Strettington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
