Glazing silicone in Goose Hill, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Goose Hill is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Goose Hill homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Thatcham station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Ashford Hill Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Common problems we fix in Goose 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:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
In the older streets around Church of St Paul, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who turns up on the day
- Which colour the sealant will be
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Goose Hill
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Older cottages and farmhouses around Goose Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
