Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Heads Hill
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We work on rooflights, shower screens and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Heads Hill is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Heads Hill: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Heads Hill?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thatcham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most jobs. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do you need glazing silicone in Heads Hill?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Managing a site like Cheam School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before booking

- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is VAT in the price?

When something else is needed

Heads Hill homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Shaw House (about 3.3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Heads Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Thatcham station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Heads Hill gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Heads Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Heads Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Do not 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
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
