Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Westerton
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you have leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can help, on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases alike.
Somewhere as small as Westerton, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

Will you come out to Westerton?
Yes, Westerton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?

What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you replace glass?
That’s not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

What glazing silicone looks like in Westerton
Historic houses like Goodwood House (about 0.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Westerton 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as The March CofE Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Peter include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

When to call us in Westerton
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Rented homes near Chichester station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 will say so. In a small place like Westerton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
