Glazing silicone in Sonning Common
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Sonning Common range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading.

Common problems we fix in Sonning Common
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Rented homes near Henley-On-Thames station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Sonning Common questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Sonning Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Sonning Common
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

What glazing silicone looks like in Sonning Common
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Greys Court (about 2.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sonning Common as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to The Church of Christ the King include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Sonning Common Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Homes in smaller places like Sonning Common 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.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
