Glazing & conservatory sealant in Christmas Common, Oxfordshire
Glazing joints in Christmas Common need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Christmas Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

Glazing silicone in Christmas Common
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are silicone pulling away from the glass and water running down inside the glass.
In a village or hamlet like Christmas Common, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

When to call us in Christmas Common
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
If you look after a building such as Icknield Community College, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Surface by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Glazing silicone in Christmas Common: local notes
Historic houses like Stonor Park (about 2.9 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Christmas Common has older buildings as well as new. 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.
In the older streets around Church of the Nativity, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What does glazing silicone cost?
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.
