About our glazing silicone in Enslow
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water running down inside the glass.
In a village or hamlet like Enslow, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Common problems we fix in Enslow
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bletchingdon Parochial Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Enslow, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.

Questions from Enslow
I let a flat near Tackley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Enslow?
Yes. Enslow is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens if it’s left?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Around Enslow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- You choose the colour before work begins

What glazing silicone looks like in Enslow
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 3 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Enslow 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 live in an older home near Church of Holy Cross, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Tackley station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
