Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Bowsey Hill
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are water escaping where a screen meets the wall and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Homes in small places like Bowsey Hill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Bowsey Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowsey Hill
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Bowsey Hill
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
If you live in an older home near St Paul's Mission Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Before booking anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Bowsey Hill homes and the weather
Historic houses like Harleyford Manor (about 3.3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Bowsey Hill 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Wargrave station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Managing a site like Crazies Hill CofE Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bowsey Hill
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. In a small place like Bowsey Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
