Glazing Silicone in Burghfield
Professional glazing silicone in and around Burghfield, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How we handle glazing silicone in Burghfield
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are new silicone smeared over old sealant and water running down inside the glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Burghfield is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading.

When to call us in Burghfield
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
If you let a flat or house near Theale station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Burghfield homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (about 4.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burghfield as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Burghfield St Mary's C.E. Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
