- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Shaw
We work across Shaw on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and mouldy sealant around glass panels, across conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
Around Shaw, 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 Shaw and everywhere else we cover.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to Shaw is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Glass that needs replacing
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. Homes in smaller places like Shaw can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
If you manage several properties in or around Shaw, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Use gentle products around the joints
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Frames and glazing around Shaw
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Shaw House (about 0.3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shaw as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Newbury Racecourse station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
