About our glazing silicone in Abingdon-on-Thames
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and mouldy sealant around glass panels, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Plenty of homes in a town like Abingdon-on-Thames have had conservatories, patio doors or new windows added over the years. Every addition brings more joints, each wearing at its own pace. Sills, frame heads and glazing joints are where leaks generally start.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Abingdon-on-Thames and across Oxfordshire.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. A visit in Abingdon-on-Thames needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access

What glazing silicone looks like in Abingdon-on-Thames
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Clifton Hampden Manor (about 3.5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Abingdon-on-Thames has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Christ Church, 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 St Nicolas Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Radley station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Abingdon-on-Thames
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy home in Abingdon-on-Thames they get worse with every use. Now is the easy time to put it right.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Abingdon-on-Thames
Can you do glazing silicone in Abingdon-on-Thames?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Abingdon-on-Thames is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Radley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
