Timco Sealant any good?

Hi all,
So, long story short… looking for a decent clear sealant to seal between my PVC window frames and brickwork. Existing stuff has come away and is allowing water to seep in.
Anyway, I was looking at Screwfix’s own No Nonsense brand, and Dow 799. Both are low modulus, neutral curing, UV resistant.
No Nonsense is £8. Dow 799 is £10.
My brother works in a tool store, and they stock Timco Premium LMN Silicone. Also low modulus, neutral curing, UV resistant. But a mere £3.29! He gets it at list price.

I always keep reading “all sealants aren’t made equal”, and all that. How much is that the case really? Worth the £3.29, or better to get the “better” stuff? Never used Timco before, and can’t find much about them!

Timco are a North American company, think they’ve been selling/ marketing in the uk for about 2 years? Targeting building and engineering trades. I have used their screws when on offer, and are fine. Think they are keeping prices keen to gain market share.
A thankyou is payment enough .1 -
Timco is an UK company & has been around for decades. https://timco.co.uk1

Thanks guys.
Why do I never see people use their stuff? Are they just not as popular as other brands? Are their products inferior?0
