Great Hollands Glazing Silicone
We cover Great Hollands for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed joints on frameless glass
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit to Great Hollands is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

How we handle glazing silicone in Great Hollands
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Typical jobs include conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and rooflight joints letting water in, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Houses in smaller places like Great Hollands can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
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.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We do not install or replace glass.
Great Hollands: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Great Hollands?
Yes, Great Hollands is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bracknell station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Great Hollands?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- Where the property is
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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 a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Around Great Hollands, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Old sealant always removed completely

Common problems we fix in Great Hollands
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Managing a site like Great Hollands Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Frames and glazing around Great Hollands
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Bracknell, which Great Hollands is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start.
If you live in an older home near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Bracknell station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
