Glazing silicone across Windsor and Maidenhead: what to expect
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. Typical jobs include glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and glass-to-glass joints that have split, on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Glazing silicone across Windsor and Maidenhead: local notes
From Maidenhead, Windsor and Boyn Hill to its smaller places, Windsor and Maidenhead has windows and doors of every age and material. Each needs the right sealant, and every joint wears out eventually.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in Windsor and Maidenhead, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Maidenhead: If you look after a building such as Claires Court Schools, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around All Saints' Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
Common problems we fix in Windsor and Maidenhead
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Common questions in Windsor and Maidenhead
What does glazing silicone cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
