Glazing silicone in Mortimer West End
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Typical jobs include shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Mortimer West End is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Mortimer West End, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.

In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.

We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.

It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

What glazing silicone looks like in Mortimer West End
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (about 4.3 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Mortimer West End as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Mortimer station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St.Saviours, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Silchester Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
