DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Glazing silicone in Checkendon
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for leaks from the base of a shower screen and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Checkendon, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Checkendon: your questions answered
Do you cover Checkendon for glazing silicone?
Yes, Checkendon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station?

Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Checkendon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What glazing silicone looks like in Checkendon
Historic houses like Greys Court (about 3.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Checkendon has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Checkendon Church of England (A) Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work 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 Checkendon, 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
What we are called out for in Checkendon
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
If you let a flat or house near Goring & Streatley station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
