Glazing silicone in Taplow
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. If you have glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right.
Around Taplow, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Taplow questions
Do you cover smaller places like Taplow?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Taplow station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Taplow?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the size of the job.

Why it’s worth doing now in Taplow
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Taplow, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

What glazing silicone looks like in Taplow
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Cliveden (about 1.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Taplow as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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 Church of St Nicolas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Taplow station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
When to call us in Taplow
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
If you look after a building such as St Nicolas' Church of England Combined School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
