Glazing & conservatory sealant in Wickham, West Berkshire
Professional glazing silicone in and around Wickham, with old sealant always removed completely.

How we handle glazing silicone in Wickham
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. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked silicone between glass panels and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Around Wickham, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

Glazing silicone in Wickham: local notes
Historic houses like Benham Park (about 3.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Wickham 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Welford and Wickham C.E. Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Kintbury station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Swithin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Wickham is about 6 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. We carry out glazing silicone for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Wickham. Our area takes in 155 places across West Berkshire, large and small. You can also see our page for Reading, about 20 miles away.
Work in RG20 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need glazing silicone at a property on Welford Road, Baydon Road and Mant Close or anywhere close by, we can help. Close by, we work in Easton (1 mile east), Weston (1 mile north), Clapton (1 mile south-west), East Shefford (2 miles north) and Shefford Woodlands (2 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Newbury (6 miles south-east), Thatcham (8 miles east), Speenhamland (5 miles south-east), Hungerford (4 miles south-west), Lambourn (6 miles north-west) and Shaw (6 miles south-east).
Landmarks near Wickham
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Five Bells pub, among other places. The closest station to Wickham is Kintbury station, roughly 3 miles south. A little further out are Hamstead Marshall 3 (3.4 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Sole Common Pond.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wickham
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wickham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What affects the quote in Wickham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Wickham, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.

Wickham: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Kintbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wickham?
Yes, Wickham is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
