- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
About our glazing silicone in Inkpen Common
Across Inkpen Common, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, across conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
In a village or hamlet like Inkpen Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
What we’re called out for in Inkpen Common
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Laurence, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the colour is chosen
Why deal with it now?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Inkpen Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why Inkpen Common clients choose us
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Full insurance on every job
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
Glazing silicone in Inkpen Common: local notes
Historic houses like Stargroves (about 2.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Inkpen Common has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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 Kintbury station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Inkpen Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
