West Burton: your questions answered
Is West Burton within the area you cover?
Yes. West Burton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Amberley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
About our glazing silicone in West Burton
We work across West Burton on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in West Burton is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

West Burton homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Bignor Roman Villa (about 0.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Burton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of the Holy Cross, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bury CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Amberley station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Near you in West Burton
In West Burton, that means homes and buildings near Dorset House School and the streets around them. West Burton’s nearest station is Amberley station, about 2.1 miles south-east. A little further out are Arundel and District Hospital (4.4 miles south) and Amberley Castle (1.8 miles east). Not far away are Amberley Wild Brooks and Bignor Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the quote in West Burton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Glass that needs replacing
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. Around West Burton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
