About our glazing silicone in Tilehurst
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.
Many houses in smaller places like Tilehurst have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Glazing silicone in Tilehurst: local notes
Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 1.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Tilehurst has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Park Lane Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Tilehurst station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Tilehurst can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Common problems we fix in Tilehurst
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Homes close to Tilehurst Methodist Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
