- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
About our glazing silicone in Drayton
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
Houses in smaller places like Drayton can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drayton
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit to Drayton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Windows and doors in Drayton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Clifton Hampden Manor (about 4.4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Drayton 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.
Schools such as Drayton Community Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Appleford station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. In the older streets around Church of Saint Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped

Why act early in Drayton
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Drayton, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
