Glazing silicone in Shiplake
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you have rooflight joints letting water in and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Shiplake is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shiplake
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Windows and doors in Shiplake
Historic houses like Greys Court (about 4.1 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Shiplake has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Shiplake Church of England School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Shiplake
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For landlords with property near Wargrave station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
