Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 2.2 miles north-east, show how far back building around Rooksdown goes.

About our glazing silicone in Rooksdown
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you’re dealing with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Around Rooksdown, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Rooksdown and everywhere else we cover.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Windows and doors in Rooksdown
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like The Vyne (about 2.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Rooksdown has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Basingstoke station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you look after a building such as Fort Hill Community School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.
