How we handle glazing silicone in West Thorney
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
In a village or hamlet like West Thorney, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Thorney can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

What else we do in West Thorney
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What we are called out for in West Thorney
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
If you look after a building such as Thorney Island Community Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Glazing silicone in West Thorney: local notes
West Thorney is within about 1 mile 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. Historic houses like Warblington Castle (about 3.1 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around West Thorney has older buildings as well as new. 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 Southbourne station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Your questions about glazing silicone in West Thorney
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Southbourne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is West Thorney within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
