Glazing silicone in Foxcotte
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and rooflight joints letting water in.
Somewhere as small as Foxcotte, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Foxcotte
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Foxcotte, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

When to call us in Foxcotte
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
The most common problems we see are:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
If you live in an older home near St Thomas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Foxcotte questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Foxcotte?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Foxcotte is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Foxcotte?

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What glazing silicone looks like in Foxcotte
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.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Managing a site like Harrow Way Community School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
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 the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Foxcotte, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
