Leave it or put it right?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Thorns Beach, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

How we handle glazing silicone in Thorns Beach
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with mouldy sealant around glass panels and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights alike.
Homes in small places like Thorns Beach often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

FAQs for Thorns Beach
Does the coastal weather in Thorns Beach affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is Thorns Beach within the area you cover?
Yes. Thorns Beach is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorns Beach
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Thorns Beach, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s 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.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What glazing silicone looks like in Thorns Beach
Thorns Beach is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House, about 3.8 miles north, show how far back building around Thorns Beach goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Rented homes near Lymington Pier station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
