How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Appleford-on-Thames, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How we handle glazing silicone in Appleford-on-Thames
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Typical jobs include rooflight joints letting water in and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Appleford-on-Thames is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Windows and doors in Appleford-on-Thames
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor (about 1.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Appleford-on-Thames as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Appleford station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Didcot Girls' School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Appleford-on-Thames is about 2 miles north of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. For glazing silicone in and around Appleford-on-Thames, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for a quick quote.

Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Older cottages and farmhouses around Appleford-on-Thames can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A roof that has moved or dropped
