Glazing silicone in Faringdon, done properly
We work across Faringdon on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Common call-outs are for stained, discoloured glazing silicone and failed sealant around rooflight glass, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Many houses in smaller places like Faringdon have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Faringdon, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us

FAQs for Faringdon
Do you cover smaller places like Faringdon?
Yes. Faringdon 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.
Is Faringdon in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Faringdon is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Faringdon?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That’s not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead can’t grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, 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.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking around Faringdon is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Frames and glazing around Faringdon
With historic houses such as Buscot Park (about 3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Faringdon as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What we are called out for in Faringdon
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Schools such as Faringdon Community College are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
