About our glazing silicone in Mapledurham
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you’re dealing with leaks from the base of a shower screen and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Mapledurham, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What glazing silicone looks like in Mapledurham
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 0.1 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Mapledurham 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Purley CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of St Margaret and Bardolf Aisle, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Mapledurham is about 3 miles west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Mapledurham can book us for glazing silicone, old or new, large or small.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What affects the quote in Mapledurham
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Mapledurham, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Mapledurham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

Do you need glazing silicone in Mapledurham?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Letting a property close to Tilehurst station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
