How we handle glazing silicone in Widley
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about leaks from the base of a shower screen and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Somewhere as small as Widley, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Widley
Do you cover smaller places like Widley?
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.
Does the coastal weather in Widley affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Widley, along with the rest of our area.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
What we’re called out for in Widley
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you let a flat or house near Cosham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Frames and glazing around Widley
Widley is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In the older streets around Christ Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Purbrook Park School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Widley is about 1 mile south-west of Purbrook, in Hampshire. Whether you’re in the middle of Widley or further out, we cover glazing silicone for every kind of property. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Widley among them.

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracked or broken glass
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
