About our glazing silicone in Arborfield
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We are often asked to deal with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and water running down inside the glass, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Somewhere as small as Arborfield, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Arborfield: your questions answered
Will you come out to Arborfield?
Yes, Arborfield 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?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Arborfield is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Arborfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What to tell us for a quote

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
What glazing silicone looks like in Arborfield
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Bartholomew include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Winnersh station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

When to call us in Arborfield
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water running down inside the glass
If you look after a building such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
