Problem with your glazing joints in Farley Wood? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

Glazing silicone in Farley Wood, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and people most often call us about shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and failed joints on frameless glass.
In smaller places like Farley Wood, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Farley Wood: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Bracknell station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Farley Wood?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
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.
Do you work in Farley Wood?
Yes. We work in Farley Wood and the rest of Bracknell Forest, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking around Farley Wood is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
How to get a quote

What else we do in Farley Wood
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth doing now in Farley Wood
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Around Farley Wood, 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- More than 20 years in sealant work
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints

Glazing silicone in Farley Wood: local notes
Bracknell, which Farley Wood is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Mark, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Managing a site like Meadow Vale Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
