Glazing silicone in Upper Common
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We’re often asked to deal with water running down inside the glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Upper Common is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Cracked or broken glass
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Upper Common questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Upper Common?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Upper Common is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.

Upper Common homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Hall Place (about 3.9 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Upper Common has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of St. Martin include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a small place like Upper Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
What we are called out for in Upper Common
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Look out for these signs:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Rented homes near Basingstoke station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
