DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
About our glazing silicone in Drayton
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. If you have leaks from the base of a shower screen and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Drayton, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

What we are called out for in Drayton
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water running down inside the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed joints on frameless glass
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Glazing silicone in Drayton: local notes
With historic houses such as Broughton Castle (about 2.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Drayton as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Managing a site like North Oxfordshire Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Banbury station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Drayton
Do you cover smaller places like Drayton?
Yes. Drayton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Drayton for glazing silicone?
Yes, Drayton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a small place like Drayton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
