Crockham Heath Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone across Crockham Heath and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
About our glazing silicone in Crockham Heath
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Common call-outs are for leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and glass-to-glass joints that have split, on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Around Crockham Heath, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Different surfaces, different methods

Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Windows and doors in Crockham Heath
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Benham Park (about 1.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Crockham Heath as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Michael, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Enborne C.E. Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Common questions in Crockham Heath
I let a flat near Newbury station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Crockham Heath for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Crockham Heath is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What we’re called out for in Crockham Heath
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
