Glazing silicone in West Berkshire: how it works

A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing.

We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Glazing silicone across West Berkshire: local notes

Our glazing silicone work across West Berkshire covers homes, flats and businesses, from Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common to the quieter places in between. Outside sealant needs a dry, clean joint, so the work is planned around the weather.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in West Berkshire is planned around the forecast.

Newbury: For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicolas Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Common problems we fix in West Berkshire

On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.

The problems people usually mention when they call are:

Split or lifting silicone on glass
Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Mouldy sealant around glass panels

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Surface by surface

Glass-to-frame joints

We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.

Glass balustrade bases

Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep air moving in the conservatory
Act on drips or damp patches early

Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.

Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Common questions in West Berkshire

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Is it messy?

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

How long should I leave it?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work has a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.

Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?

Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.

Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?

A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
