How we handle glazing silicone in Wick Hill
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and split or lifting silicone on glass.
In a smaller place like Wick Hill, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bracknell Forest.

Leave it or put it right?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that is not the case. In a smaller place like Wick Hill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

FAQs for Wick Hill
Do older homes in Wick Hill need their sealant replacing?
Usually, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
Is Wick Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We don’t install or replace glass.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. A visit to Wick Hill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Glazing silicone in Wick Hill: local notes
Wick Hill is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in. 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.
Homes close to Holy Trinity Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Warfield Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Wick Hill is about 1 mile north-east of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Wick Hill gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Wick Hill is one of 41 towns and villages in Bracknell Forest where we work for glazing silicone. Reading is on our list too, around 10 miles away.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
What we’re called out for in Wick Hill
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
For landlords with property near Bracknell station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
