About our glazing silicone in Ventnor
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
In a smaller place like Ventnor, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Ventnor and everywhere else we cover.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
Glazing silicone in Ventnor: local notes
Ventnor 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. Historic houses like Rylstone Manor (about 2.6 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Ventnor 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.
For landlords with property near Shanklin station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you look after a building such as St Catherine's School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Catherine's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Common questions in Ventnor
Does the coastal weather in Ventnor affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a smaller place like Ventnor, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Homes in smaller places like Ventnor can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
