Windows and doors in Combe
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 Blenheim Palace (about 1.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Combe has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Laurence's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Combe station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Combe is about 5 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Jobs in Combe get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Combe is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover for glazing silicone. We also work in Oxford, about 10 miles from Combe.

Glazing silicone in Combe, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Typical jobs include stained, discoloured glazing silicone and split or lifting silicone on glass, across glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
Homes in small places like Combe often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Combe: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Combe station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Combe in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Combe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That’s not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Combe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Combe
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
If you look after a building such as Combe CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

- Whether they’re fully insured
