How we handle glazing silicone in Cutteslowe
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you’re dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Cutteslowe, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In an older home around Cutteslowe, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Common problems we fix in Cutteslowe
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cutteslowe Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases

Cutteslowe homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Holywell Manor (about 2.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Cutteslowe has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Roman Catholic Church of St Gregory and St Augustine include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
FAQs for Cutteslowe
Is Cutteslowe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Cutteslowe?
Yes, Cutteslowe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us photos and we will take a look when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Parking around Cutteslowe is usually 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 start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
