Glazing silicone in Foscot
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are new silicone smeared over old sealant and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Foscot is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What glazing silicone looks like in Foscot
Historic houses like Chastleton House (about 4.4 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Foscot 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Kingham station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Bledington Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Foscot
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Foscot, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most jobs. In a small place like Foscot, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.

Common problems we fix in Foscot
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Homes close to Church of St Leonard include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
