- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Cholsey
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Homes around Cholsey 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
What glazing silicone looks like in Cholsey
With historic houses such as Brightwell Manor (about 2.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cholsey as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Cholsey Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. For a job in Cholsey, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
What we’re called out for in Cholsey
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
For landlords with property near Cholsey station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Cholsey, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: 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.

Cholsey questions
Is Cholsey within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Cholsey?
Yes, Cholsey is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What guarantee do I get?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We don’t install or replace glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
