Glazing silicone in Bix
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Bix is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Bix, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Bix
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What glazing silicone looks like in Bix
Historic houses like Greys Court (about 1.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Bix has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Bix
Do you work for landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station?

Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
What does glazing silicone cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bix, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
