The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Glazing silicone in Catslip, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across conservatory frames, shower screens and rooflights.
In a village or hamlet like Catslip, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Glazing silicone in Catslip: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Greys Court (about 2.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Catslip as well as newer homes. 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.
Rented homes near Henley-On-Thames station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Nettlebed Community School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Catslip, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Catslip
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Older cottages and farmhouses around Catslip can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Glass that needs replacing
- A roof that has moved or dropped
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames

- The amount of work

- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
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 that we can handle for you.
