Questions from Tokers Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Tilehurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do glazing silicone in Tokers Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tokers Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Tokers Green
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Common call-outs are for silicone pulling away from the glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
In a village or hamlet like Tokers Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Tokers Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
For anyone letting property in or around Tokers Green, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.

Glazing silicone in Tokers Green: local notes
With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 1.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tokers Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
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. If you look after a building such as Kidmore End Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why act early in Tokers Green
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a small place like Tokers Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
