Why it’s worth doing now in Trash Green
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. Older cottages and farmhouses around Trash Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Glazing silicone in Trash Green, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Common call-outs are for rooflight joints letting water in and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, across glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and shower screens.
In a village or hamlet like Trash Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Trash Green homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 4.7 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Trash Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Theale station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs, and the area is left clean.

- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:

When to call us in Trash Green
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Schools such as Burghfield St Mary's C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
