About our glazing silicone in Fringford

Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks from the base of a shower screen and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.

In a village or hamlet like Fringford, 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 guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How we quote for glazing silicone

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Access and height
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Asking for a quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Roughly how big the job is

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.

Looking after it afterwards

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
  • Don’t use a blade near the sealant
  • Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
  • Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth

Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.

Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.

How the job changes by surface

Glass-to-frame joints

Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.

Glass-to-glass joints

Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.

Why act early in Fringford

If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a small place like Fringford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Why book with us

  • Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
  • More than 20 years in sealant work
  • You choose the colour before work begins
  • Full insurance on every job

Your questions about glazing silicone in Fringford

Can you do glazing silicone in Fringford?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fringford is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Is Fringford within the area you cover?

Yes. Fringford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Can I do it myself?

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We work from Crawley. We cover Fringford and the rest of Oxfordshire.

Do the sealants smell?

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?

Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Fringford homes and the weather

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.

If you look after a building such as Fringford Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step

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. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Fringford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
  2. We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
  3. We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
  4. Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
  5. We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

When it is not the sealant

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

  • Condensation trapped between two panes
  • Rotten or badly damaged frames
  • Failed flashing around a conservatory

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Shower screens
  • Conservatory frames
  • Glass-to-glass joints
  • Rooflights
  • Glass-to-frame joints
  • Glass balustrade bases

Common problems we fix in Fringford

New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Silicone pulling away from the glass
  • Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
  • Cracked silicone between glass panels
  • New silicone smeared over old sealant

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • What product goes in the joint
  • Are they insured?
