Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Arborfield Cross
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Arborfield Cross, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Glass that needs replacing

Do you need glazing silicone in Arborfield Cross?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you look after a building such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What else we do in Arborfield Cross
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In a small place like Arborfield Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Glazing silicone in Arborfield Cross: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Winnersh station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Common questions in Arborfield Cross
Is Arborfield Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, Arborfield Cross is covered. 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.
Can you do glazing silicone in Arborfield Cross?
Yes, Arborfield Cross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. In a small place like Arborfield Cross, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
