About our glazing silicone in Westdene
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down inside the glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Homes around Westdene range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Westdene and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Westdene is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive

What else we do in Westdene
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Westdene questions
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Westdene any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Preston Park station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. In a smaller place like Westdene, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Windows and doors in Westdene
Westdene is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Preston Manor & Gardens (about 1.3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Westdene as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Preston Park station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Ascension, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Westdene Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How we quote for glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Landlord and commercial work in Westdene
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
