Glazing silicone in Draycott
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on shower screens, rooflights and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Draycott is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Draycott and across Oxfordshire.

What we’re called out for in Draycott
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
In the older streets around Church of St Helen, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Draycott, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why act early in Draycott
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Draycott, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Draycott homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like Garsington Manor (about 4.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Draycott 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.
Schools such as Ickford School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Draycott in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Draycott is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Draycott.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

What affects the quote in Draycott
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
