Glazing Silicone in Westergate
Glazing joints in Westergate need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Westergate
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you’re dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can help, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames alike.
Many houses in smaller places like Westergate have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
What glazing silicone looks like in Westergate
With historic houses such as Goodwood House (about 4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Westergate as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Aldingbourne Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Goodwood House, about 4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Westergate, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Letting a property close to Barnham station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
Leave it or put it right?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In an older home around Westergate, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Your questions about glazing silicone in Westergate
Is Westergate within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It does not last. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
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.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost depends on the size of the job, 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, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. In a smaller place like Westergate, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
