For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Glazing silicone in Fencott, done properly
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 sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Fencott, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Glazing silicone in Fencott: local notes
Historic houses like Boarstall Tower (about 3.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Fencott 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. 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.
Boarstall Tower, about 3.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Fencott. If you look after a building such as Charlton-on-Otmoor Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Fencott questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Fencott?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Fencott is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Fencott within the area you cover?
Yes, Fencott is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

What affects the quote in Fencott
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. In a small place like Fencott, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Fencott

When to call us in Fencott
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
If you let a flat or house near Islip station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
