How we handle glazing silicone in Winterbourne
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
Somewhere as small as Winterbourne, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Winterbourne
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Managing a site like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
