- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.

Glazing silicone in Langley Common
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have cracked silicone between glass panels and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Langley Common, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.

Why it’s worth doing now in Langley Common
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In a small place like Langley Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Common questions in Langley Common
Do you work for landlords with property near Wokingham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Langley Common?
Yes. Langley Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you’re paying for.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Common problems we fix in Langley Common
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
The most common problems we see are:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water running down inside the glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
