Glazing silicone in Farley Hill
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. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.
Somewhere as small as Farley Hill, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

What glazing silicone looks like in Farley Hill
With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (about 3.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Farley Hill 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Farley Hill Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Eligius, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Farley Hill: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wokingham station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Farley Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Farley Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us photos and we’ll take a look when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. In a small place like Farley Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Do you need glazing silicone in Farley Hill?
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Letting a property close to Wokingham station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Farley Hill and across West Berkshire. We can quote a run of properties together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
