DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Emmer Green
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We are often asked to deal with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
In a smaller place like Emmer Green, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why act early in Emmer Green
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Emmer Green, 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.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What glazing silicone looks like in Emmer Green
Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 3.2 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Emmer Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as The Hill Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Reading station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. In a smaller place like Emmer Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
When to call us in Emmer Green
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water running down inside the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
For an older house near a landmark such as St Barnabas Church Hall, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
