Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Silchester
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Homes in small places like Silchester often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Silchester, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Silchester can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Common problems we fix in Silchester
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Luke's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.

Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

- Roughly how big the job is

Glazing silicone in Silchester: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like The Vyne (about 3.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Silchester 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.
Schools such as Silchester Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
