Glazing silicone in West Blatchington, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We’re often asked to deal with silicone pulling away from the glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Many houses in smaller places like West Blatchington have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to West Blatchington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When to call us in West Blatchington
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether you can choose the colour
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.

FAQs for West Blatchington
Do you cover smaller places like West Blatchington?
Yes, West Blatchington is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aldrington station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us photos and we’ll take a look when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Blatchington
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. Homes in smaller places like West Blatchington can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Glazing silicone in West Blatchington: local notes
West Blatchington is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Preston Manor & Gardens (about 1.3 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Blatchington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Aldrington CofE Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Aldrington station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
