What glazing silicone looks like in Botley
With historic houses such as Holywell Manor (about 2.3 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Botley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

About our glazing silicone in Botley
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. If you have water getting into a conservatory at the joints and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right, on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Homes around Botley range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Botley
I let a flat near Oxford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do glazing silicone in Botley?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Botley is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Botley?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Botley
From a single let to 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 we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Homes in smaller places like Botley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Botley
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
Common problems we fix in Botley
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Schools such as Botley School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. In a smaller place like Botley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
