Windows and doors in Wickham Heath
With historic houses such as Benham Park (about 1.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wickham Heath as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Kintbury station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Andrew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Glazing silicone in Wickham Heath
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. Common call-outs are for shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, across rooflights, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
Somewhere as small as Wickham Heath, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Wickham Heath questions
Will you come out to Wickham Heath?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Yes, Wickham Heath is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it messy?

Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Wickham Heath
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Schools such as Stockcross C.E. School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Wickham Heath, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth doing now in Wickham Heath
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Wickham Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
