How we handle glazing silicone in Wokingham
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases.
A place the size of Wokingham has every kind of window, from older timber frames to uPVC and aluminium in newer homes, plus conservatories, patio doors and rooflights. Each needs the right sealant, and each joint wears out eventually.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Jobs in a place the size of Wokingham range from town-centre flats to offices and family homes. For each, it helps to know about access, parking and where the joints are.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Wokingham homes and the weather
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Walter Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of St Paul include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Wokingham station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

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 send you a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in Wokingham guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you cover Wokingham?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Wokingham, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Should I try it myself first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Busy buildings in Wokingham, from hotels to offices, can’t afford rooms out of use for leaks or mould, so it pays to replace failing joints before they get that far.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
