Glazing silicone in Weston
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases alike.
Many houses in smaller places like Weston have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Weston
Will you come out to Weston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sholing station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Weston
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water running down inside the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Letting a property close to Sholing station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- How long the guarantee is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How much experience the applicator has
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs. A visit to Weston is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through 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
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.

What else we do in Weston
What glazing silicone looks like in Weston
Weston 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 Medieval Merchant's House (about 1.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Weston has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Weston Shore Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
