About our glazing silicone in Wantage
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Common call-outs are for new silicone smeared over old sealant and mouldy sealant around glass panels, across rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
Wantage mixes older streets, where windows have often been replaced, with newer estates fitted with uPVC. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Glazing silicone in Wantage: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Around Wantage, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and the area is left clean. For a job in Wantage, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
When to call us in Wantage
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Schools such as St Mary's School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold

What else we do in Wantage
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
