What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Glazing silicone in Chilton
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. Common call-outs are for split or lifting silicone on glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Chilton is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Frames and glazing around Chilton
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Didcot Parkway station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

When to call us in Chilton
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Schools such as Chilton County Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Chilton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing, and we will tell you if that is not the case. Around Chilton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
