How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We don’t install or replace glass.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glazing silicone in Penwood, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
Homes in small places like Penwood often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Do you need glazing silicone in Penwood?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For landlords with property near Newbury station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Why act early in Penwood
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Penwood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Windows and doors in Penwood
Historic houses like Highclere Castle (about 1.7 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Penwood 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 is traditional sand mastic. 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.
Homes close to Church of St Michael Archangel 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 Woolton Hill Junior School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Penwood 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 fix a leaking conservatory?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
