- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
How we handle glazing silicone in Ducklington
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We are often asked to deal with failed sealant around rooflight glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, across rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Around Ducklington, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ducklington
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ducklington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Ducklington

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a village or hamlet like Ducklington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Common problems we fix in Ducklington
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you look after a building such as Ducklington Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What glazing silicone looks like in Ducklington
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (about 3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ducklington as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Questions from Ducklington
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Ducklington?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Ducklington in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Ducklington 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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
