Glazing Silicone in The Frenches
Glazing silicone across The Frenches and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
About our glazing silicone in The Frenches
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are new silicone smeared over old sealant and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in The Frenches is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Frames and glazing around The Frenches
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Mottisfont Abbey (about 3.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around The Frenches has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Mottisfont & Dunbridge station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode

- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like The Frenches, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
