Our glazing silicone service in Slough
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, 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.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
What you’ll pay
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, 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 for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Full insurance on every job
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

Glazing silicone across Slough: local notes
Homes across Slough range from period properties with timber or sash windows to new builds with uPVC. Exposed walls are where window sealant usually fails first.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in Slough is planned around the forecast.
Slough: Rented homes near Slough station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and All Angels, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Common problems we fix in Slough
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
What happens if it’s left?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Glass that needs replacing
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Common questions in Slough
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
