- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
How we handle glazing silicone in Padworth Common
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Common call-outs are for failed sealant around rooflight glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and conservatory frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Padworth Common is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Padworth Common questions
Is Padworth Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aldermaston station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
What we are called out for in Padworth Common
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Rented homes near Aldermaston station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Comparing quotes
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job.

Windows and doors in Padworth Common
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like The Willink School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Padworth Common can have timber 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 how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
