Woodmancote homes and the weather
Woodmancote is within about 2 miles of 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. Historic houses like Warblington Castle (about 2.9 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Woodmancote has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Bourne Community College? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Woodmancote Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

About our glazing silicone in Woodmancote
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and people most often call us about failed joints on frameless glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Woodmancote is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.

Why act early in Woodmancote
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Woodmancote, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job from start to finish. In a small place like Woodmancote, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Surface by surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Woodmancote: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Woodmancote any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
I let a flat near Southbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you replace glass?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
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.

What else we do in Woodmancote
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Woodmancote
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
If you let a flat or house near Southbourne station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Act on drips or damp patches early
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
