What affects the quote in The Holt
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How we handle glazing silicone in The Holt
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Around The Holt, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
Glazing silicone in The Holt: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Harleyford Manor (about 3.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around The Holt as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Wargrave station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Robert Piggott CofE Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Questions from The Holt
I let a flat near Wargrave station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to The Holt?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
