Black Bourton questions
Is glazing silicone in Black Bourton guaranteed?
All our work, in Black Bourton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Black Bourton?
Yes, Black Bourton is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Black Bourton
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about failed joints on frameless glass and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Black Bourton is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Black Bourton and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Black Bourton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints

Frames and glazing around Black Bourton
Historic houses like Kelmscott Manor (about 4.2 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Black Bourton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
