Glazing silicone in Sonning, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for silicone pulling away from the glass and rooflight joints letting water in, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Sonning, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Sonning
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
In the older streets around St Andrew's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What else we do in Sonning
Glazing silicone in Sonning: local notes
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sonning Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Twyford station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why act early in Sonning
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sonning, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Sonning: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Twyford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do glazing silicone in Sonning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Sonning is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
What does glazing silicone cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.

Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Sonning, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
