Glazing silicone in Blacknest
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and failed joints on frameless glass, on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and shower screens.
In a village or hamlet like Blacknest, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Windsor and Maidenhead.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Blacknest, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

- Cracked or broken glass

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Windows and doors in Blacknest
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill (about 4.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Blacknest has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Sunningdale station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Homes close to Holy Trinity Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

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. We agree the price before any work begins.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Common problems we fix in Blacknest
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
