Glazing Silicone in West Dean
Problem with your glazing joints in West Dean? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
How we handle glazing silicone in West Dean
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have mouldy sealant around glass panels and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can put it right, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in West Dean is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can you match the sealant colour?

What we are called out for in West Dean
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and 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
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Glass that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as West Dean, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing, and we will tell you if that is not the case. Around West Dean, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why West Dean customers choose us
- Full insurance on every job
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Windows and doors in West Dean
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as West Dean House (about 0.1 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Dean as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Fishbourne station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as West Dean CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
