Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. Around Frilford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

- 20+ years of sealant experience

How we handle glazing silicone in Frilford
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
In a village or hamlet like Frilford, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Frilford homes and the weather
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 Appleton Manor (about 2.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Frilford 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 live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Landlords and agents in Frilford can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
What we’re called out for in Frilford
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water running down inside the glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Abingdon Preparatory School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
