Problem with your glazing joints in Ardley? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

About our glazing silicone in Ardley
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for split or lifting silicone on glass and failed joints on frameless glass, across glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
In a village or hamlet like Ardley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Ardley: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Ardley?
Yes, Ardley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ardley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Ardley?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs.

Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing, and we will tell you if that is not the case. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ardley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We are fully insured

Frames and glazing around Ardley
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.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Bicester North station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
