How we handle glazing silicone in Burghfield Bridge
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Common call-outs are for glass-to-glass joints that have split and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.
Around Burghfield Bridge, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Burghfield Bridge as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Older cottages and farmhouses around Burghfield Bridge can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

What else we do in Burghfield Bridge
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Frames and glazing around Burghfield Bridge
With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 3.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burghfield Bridge as well as newer homes. 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.
Homes close to St Matthew's include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Kennet Valley Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
If you let a flat or house near Reading Green Park station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Can you fix a leaking conservatory?

When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
