- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Wooden Hill
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are cracked silicone between glass panels and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Somewhere as small as Wooden Hill, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
Wooden Hill homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Bracknell, which Wooden Hill is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start.
In the older streets around St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Wooden Hill Primary and Nursery School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why act early in Wooden Hill
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wooden Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
