Glazing Silicone in Longlane
Glazing joints in Longlane need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. In a small place like Longlane, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- You choose the colour before work begins

How we handle glazing silicone in Longlane
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and rooflights, and people most often call us about black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Somewhere as small as Longlane, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. Somewhere like Longlane needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Windows and doors in Longlane
Historic houses like Shaw House (about 2.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Longlane has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Newbury Racecourse station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

When to call us in Longlane
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Rooflight joints letting water in
If you look after a building such as Curridge Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
