Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Fingest
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We are often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and rooflight joints letting water in, on conservatory frames, rooflights and shower screens.
Around Fingest, 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 guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fingest can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Glazing silicone in Fingest: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Stonor Park (about 2.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Fingest 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.
If you look after a building such as Cadmore End CofE School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as 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 Fingest
Do you work for landlords with property near Saunderton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Fingest within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Fingest and the rest of Oxfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Do you need glazing silicone in Fingest?
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
