How we handle glazing silicone in Cold Ash
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about new silicone smeared over old sealant and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
In a village or hamlet like Cold Ash, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Cold Ash, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Questions from Cold Ash
Can you do glazing silicone in Cold Ash?
Yes, Cold Ash is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Thatcham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Places near Cold Ash
What else we do in Cold Ash
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Windows and doors in Cold Ash
With historic houses such as Shaw House (about 2.4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cold Ash as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Thatcham station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Cold Ash St Mark's C.E. School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St. Mark's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
