What glazing silicone looks like in Aldworth
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Basildon Park (about 3.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Aldworth has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Downs School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Glazing silicone in Aldworth
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Aldworth is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that is not the case. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aldworth can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
When to call us in Aldworth
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
In the older streets around St Mary's church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What affects the quote in Aldworth
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Common questions in Aldworth
Do you work for landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Aldworth?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. Somewhere like Aldworth needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
