How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Glazing silicone in Wash Common
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are glass-to-glass joints that have split and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Homes around Wash Common range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Questions from Wash Common
Will you come out to Wash Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit to Wash Common is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Wash Common homes and the weather
Historic houses like Benham Park (about 2.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Wash Common has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
If you look after a building such as Falkland Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Luke Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
