About our glazing silicone in Burkham
Across Burkham, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. Common call-outs are for sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Burkham is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Burkham
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Rented homes near Alton station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which colour the sealant will be
Common questions in Burkham
Do you work for landlords with property near Alton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Burkham?
Yes, Burkham is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Burkham, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.

What affects the quote in Burkham

Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
What glazing silicone looks like in Burkham
With historic houses such as Hall Place (about 1.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burkham as well as newer homes.
