Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Kingsclere
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We’re often asked to deal with glass-to-glass joints that have split and new silicone smeared over old sealant, across conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
In smaller places like Kingsclere, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingsclere
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Homes in smaller places like Kingsclere can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

What else we do in Kingsclere
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Kingsclere
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Kingsclere is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Kingsclere homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Kingsclere Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Thatcham station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job.
