Glazing silicone in Woodley
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
In a town like Woodley, the windows on the most exposed side of a house take the brunt of the rain, and that is usually where the sealant gives up first. It’s worth looking at every frame, not just the one that leaks.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we’re called out for in Woodley
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Letting a property close to Winnersh Triangle station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Woodley 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.
Homes close to United Reformed Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Rivermead Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why act early in Woodley
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy household in Woodley they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
