How we handle glazing silicone in Upper Bucklebury
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Typical jobs include leaks from the base of a shower screen and failed joints on frameless glass, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Upper Bucklebury is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Upper Bucklebury, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Upper Bucklebury and across West Berkshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Common problems we fix in Upper Bucklebury
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
If you live in an older home near All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Questions from Upper Bucklebury
Do you cover Upper Bucklebury for glazing silicone?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thatcham station?

Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

Advice
Windows and doors in Upper Bucklebury
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. Historic houses like Shaw House (about 4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Upper Bucklebury has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Bucklebury C.E. Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Thatcham station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
