Tapnage Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone in Tapnage from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
About our glazing silicone in Tapnage
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames alike.
Somewhere as small as Tapnage, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Tapnage
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.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Rooflight joints letting water in
For landlords with property near Swanwick station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Tapnage, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Tapnage homes and the weather
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 The Henry Cort Community College, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
