How we handle glazing silicone in Lower Caversham
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Common call-outs are for silicone pulling away from the glass and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Lower Caversham, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading.

Common problems we fix in Lower Caversham
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Letting a property close to Reading station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Related advice
Glazing silicone in Lower Caversham: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 3.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lower Caversham as well as newer homes. 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.
If you look after a building such as St Anne's Catholic Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around St John the Baptist, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. In a smaller place like Lower Caversham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
