About our glazing silicone in Boveney
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are leaks from the base of a shower screen and failed joints on frameless glass.
In a village or hamlet like Boveney, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Windows and doors in Boveney
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Dorney Court (about 1.2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Boveney as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary Magdalene's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Homer First School and Nursery? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How it works
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 anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Boveney needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- 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 check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Signs you need glazing silicone in Boveney
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Rented homes near Windsor & Eton Central station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Boveney
Can you do glazing silicone in Boveney?
Yes, Boveney is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Boveney?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can tenants book the work?

Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It does not last. The new bead can’t grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
