- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, 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.
Glazing silicone in Newtown Common, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We are often asked to deal with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split, across glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
In a village or hamlet like Newtown Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
Questions from Newtown Common
Is Newtown Common within the area you cover?
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.
Can you do glazing silicone in Newtown Common?
Yes, Newtown Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlord and commercial work in Newtown Common
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
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.
Newtown Common homes and the weather
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 Highclere Castle (about 3.1 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Newtown Common 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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and St John the Baptist, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Horris Hill School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Newtown Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.

How to prepare
