How we handle glazing silicone in Burghclere Common
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include new silicone smeared over old sealant and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Burghclere Common is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Burghclere Common and across West Berkshire.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Burghclere Common 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 trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Signs you need glazing silicone in Burghclere Common
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Homes close to Church of the Ascension include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Windows and doors in Burghclere Common
With historic houses such as Highclere Castle (about 2.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burghclere Common as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Clere School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
