West Lavington Glazing Silicone
Glazing joints in West Lavington need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in West Lavington and across West Sussex. Several sites can go on one quote.
Glazing silicone in West Lavington, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down inside the glass and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Somewhere as small as West Lavington, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we are called out for in West Lavington
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a small place like West Lavington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Frames and glazing around West Lavington
Historic houses like Cowdray House (about 0.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around West Lavington has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Midhurst CofE Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
