Fernham Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for homes and businesses in Fernham and across Oxfordshire. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
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 leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
How we handle glazing silicone in Fernham
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have leaks from the base of a shower screen and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Fernham often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Fernham questions
Is Fernham in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fernham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Fernham?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What guarantee do I get?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Do you need glazing silicone in Fernham?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Managing a site like Faringdon Community College? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Fernham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive

Advice
Windows and doors in Fernham
Historic houses like Buscot Park (about 4.3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Fernham 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 is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We check which it is.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
