Were can I buy green house rubber stuff in the UK?
I just got an old green house off our neighbor and everything is fine with it, except the rubber stuff between the metal frame and the glass is all rotten. I have looked around places (B&Q and various other large DIY stores) but cant find any of this stuff. Could anyone possibly tell me were on earth where/if I can buy some more of this stuff. Im in the east midlands (UK) if it helps. I'd rather buy from a store but dont mind buying any online.

- If they aren't leaking then don't touch,but if they are just use clear silicone.
- Ah, the previous answer does suggest that you need a mastic seal (Silicon). It comes in a tube and you will be advised if you need a 'skeleton gun' to use with it - don't worry, they're only about three or four pounds each. You will also be able to buy the mastic in various colours - if it doesn't matter, then you might get one colour at a cheaper price. What you have to remember is that it will come out of a tube rather than being a strip of something! Take a little bit with you and they will be able to confirm! Just go to your local builders merchant. Do you have Travis Perkins or Jewsons in your area?
- It's called (Greenhouse) "glazing gasket" you can buy it online, at http://www.cmsgardens.co.uk/eaccessory.htm although if you search you may find a local supplier
- Greenhouse outlets supply it by the metre . Check yellow pages for your local outlet.
- I think what you are referring to is rubber glazing strip. This sold by the yard regularly on E Bay as well as the spring clips etc.
