What glazing silicone looks like in West Itchenor
West Itchenor is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Bosham station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Glazing silicone in West Itchenor, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Typical jobs include water running down inside the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.
Around West Itchenor, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in West Itchenor and across West Sussex.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
Common questions in West Itchenor
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bosham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like West Itchenor?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
You get our 12-month guarantee on all our work.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Somewhere as small as West Itchenor, 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.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Cracked or broken glass
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
When to call us in West Itchenor
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water running down inside the glass
In the older streets around St Nicholas' Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
