About our glazing silicone in Woking
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
In Woking, windows range from older timber frames to modern uPVC and aluminium, plus conservatories, patio doors and rooflights. The mastic around all of them ages, and it’s generally the first thing to let the weather in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Woking: your questions answered
Is Woking in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Woking is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Woking?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What does glazing silicone cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Use gentle products around the joints
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Frames and glazing around Woking
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Botleys Mansion (about 4.3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woking as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Woking 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 Church of St Mary of Bethany, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What else we do in Woking
Common problems we fix in Woking
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Failed joints on frameless glass
If you look after a building such as Goldsworth Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

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’ll tell you if that is not the case. In a busy place like Woking, a failed joint in a flat or office can send water into the space below, where it can go unnoticed until the damage is done.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Full insurance on every job

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Glass that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
