Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
About our glazing silicone in Burford
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you’re dealing with water running down inside the glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases alike.
In smaller places like Burford, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Burford can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Burford homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (about 4.4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burford as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Shipton station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burford Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Burford questions
Do you cover Burford for glazing silicone?
Yes, Burford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Burford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Burford is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access

Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Burford, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
