How we handle glazing silicone in Kencot
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you are dealing with glass-to-glass joints that have split and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Kencot 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.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

When to call us in Kencot
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Glazing silicone in Kencot: local notes
Historic houses like Kelmscott Manor (about 4 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Kencot has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Schools such as St Peter's Church of England School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Kencot, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
