About our glazing silicone in Dry Sandford
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Dry Sandford is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
Windows and doors in Dry Sandford
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 Appleton Manor (about 1.7 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Dry Sandford 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.
If you look after a building such as Dry Sandford Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Helen, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Dry Sandford
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Rented homes near Radley station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What we do, step by step
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 generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Dry Sandford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
