How we handle glazing silicone in Littlestead Green
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Littlestead Green, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

- A frame that needs repairing or replacing

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What glazing silicone looks like in Littlestead Green
With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 3.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Littlestead Green as well as newer homes. 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like St Martin's Catholic Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around All Saints Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Related advice
When to call us in Littlestead Green
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Rented homes near Reading station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
