Glazing silicone in Plastow Green, done properly
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
In a village or hamlet like Plastow Green, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Plastow Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Cracked or broken glass
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Do you need glazing silicone in Plastow Green?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Letting a property close to Thatcham station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Windows and doors in Plastow Green
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cheam School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Plastow Green
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

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.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
