Glazing Silicone in Pingewood
Problem with your glazing joints in Pingewood? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Around Pingewood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Glazing silicone in Pingewood
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you have new silicone smeared over old sealant and failed joints on frameless glass, we can put it right, on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases alike.
Somewhere as small as Pingewood, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere as small as Pingewood, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Pingewood homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 4.7 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pingewood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The WREN School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Mapledurham House, about 4.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pingewood. For landlords with property near Reading Green Park station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
