Windows and doors in Theale
With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 3.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Theale as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Theale station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Glazing silicone in Theale, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Many houses in smaller places like Theale have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Theale and everywhere else we cover.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Theale
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Theale
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.
What we are called out for in Theale
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for these signs:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Schools such as Theale C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
