About our glazing silicone in Up Somborne
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Around Up Somborne, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Up Somborne as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Up Somborne
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Look out for any of the following:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
In the older streets around All Saints Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether VAT is included
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

Is glazing silicone in Up Somborne guaranteed?
All our work, in Up Somborne and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Up Somborne needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glazing silicone in Up Somborne: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
