About our glazing silicone in Lower Common
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down inside the glass and cracked silicone between glass panels.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Lower Common is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Lower Common: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Crowthorne station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Lower Common?
Yes. Lower 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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Windows and doors in Lower Common
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House (about 4.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Lower Common has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Crowthorne station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What’s near Lower Common

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
How the job changes by surface

Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.

What else we do in Lower Common
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak usually returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Lower Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Frames that have decayed or split

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. Somewhere like Lower Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
