Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Lower Shiplake
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you’re dealing with leaks from the base of a shower screen and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Lower Shiplake is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Shiplake can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What glazing silicone looks like in Lower Shiplake
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. Historic houses like Greenlands (about 3.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Lower Shiplake 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Shiplake station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We do not install or replace glass.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Lower Shiplake, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Common problems we fix in Lower Shiplake
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed joints on frameless glass
If you look after a building such as Shiplake Church of England School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
Lower Shiplake questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Shiplake station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Shiplake?
Yes, we do. 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.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our one-year guarantee on all our work.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

What else we do in Lower Shiplake
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
