Hungerford Green Glazing Silicone
Problem with your glazing joints in Hungerford Green? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Glazing silicone in Hungerford Green, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include rooflight joints letting water in and split or lifting silicone on glass, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and shower screens.
Homes in small places like Hungerford Green often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames

What glazing silicone looks like in Hungerford Green
With historic houses such as Basildon Park (about 3.4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hungerford Green 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, 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 Goring & Streatley station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Homes close to St Mary's church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as The Downs School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hungerford Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Common questions in Hungerford Green
I let a flat near Goring & Streatley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
