Latchingdon Glazing Silicone
Our applicators work in Latchingdon on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Glazing silicone in Latchingdon
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with silicone pulling away from the glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Latchingdon often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Why it’s worth doing now in Latchingdon
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 Latchingdon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us

Questions from Latchingdon
Will you come out to Latchingdon?
Yes, Latchingdon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Althorne station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us pictures and we’ll take a look when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints

Latchingdon homes and the weather
Latchingdon is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Althorne station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Latchingdon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s 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.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
