How we handle glazing silicone in Bladon
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Somewhere as small as Bladon, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Common problems we fix in Bladon
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Look out for any of the following:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For landlords with property near Hanborough station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
What affects the quote in Bladon
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bladon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot 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 the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How much does glazing silicone cost in Bladon?
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.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We don’t install or replace glass.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Bladon, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Bladon homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 0.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Bladon has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Bladon Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to St Martin's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
