Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Great Tew
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. We work on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are cracked silicone between glass panels and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
Homes in small places like Great Tew often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak usually returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Tew, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Common questions in Great Tew
Do you cover smaller places like Great Tew?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you need glazing silicone in Great Tew?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether VAT is included
