Our glazing silicone service in Wokingham
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. Common call-outs are for black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens.
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs.
- 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.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
What affects the price in Wokingham
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Glazing silicone across Wokingham: local notes
From Reading, Woodley and Earley to its smaller places, Wokingham has windows and doors of every age and material. Each needs the right sealant, and every joint wears out eventually.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building.
Reading: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Coley Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around All Nations Christian Centre, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
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.
Why act early?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much there is to do
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Common questions in Wokingham
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What does glazing silicone cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
