Glazing & conservatory sealant in Newtown, Wokingham

Glazing silicone in Newtown, done properly
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. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, across glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
In smaller places like Newtown, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What glazing silicone looks like in Newtown
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 4.3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Newtown as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Reading station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Homes close to St John and St Stephen include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like New Town Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs. A visit to Newtown is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach 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 does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What else we do in Newtown
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
