Glazing silicone for East Garston Woodlands homes and businesses
Glazing silicone in East Garston Woodlands
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We’re often asked to deal with failed joints on frameless glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.
In a village or hamlet like East Garston Woodlands, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed 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.

What we’re called out for in East Garston Woodlands
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Before you book anyone

- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Rotten or badly damaged frames

Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
