What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in East Garston?
All our work, in East Garston and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in East Garston
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you have leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around East Garston, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Do you need glazing silicone in East Garston?
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Garston
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. Around East Garston, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
