Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Wickham Common
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you have black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and cracked silicone between glass panels, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Wickham Common, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Wickham Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Failed flashing around a conservatory

Why it’s worth doing now in Wickham Common
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Wickham Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Windows and doors in Wickham Common
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Wickham Common
Is Wickham Common in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wickham Common is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Wickham Common?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Wickham Common
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water running down inside the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wickham Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
