Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Caversham Park Village
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and failed joints on frameless glass.
Homes around Caversham Park Village range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a smaller place like Caversham Park Village, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Caversham Park Village homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 3.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Caversham Park Village 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.
For landlords with property near Reading station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Homes close to All Saints Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Caversham Park Village
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Schools such as Caversham Park Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
