Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
About our glazing silicone in Botley
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Common call-outs are for rooflight joints letting water in and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
In a village or hamlet like Botley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.

Windows and doors in Botley
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. Historic houses like Chenies Manor House (about 3.1 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Botley has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Amersham station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. In the older streets around St George's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Common problems we fix in Botley
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Schools such as Ley Hill School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
