Windows and doors in Headington Hill
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Holywell Manor (about 1 mile west) are a reminder that the area around Headington Hill has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to All Saints' Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Cheney School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How we handle glazing silicone in Headington Hill
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for silicone pulling away from the glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
In a smaller place like Headington Hill, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Headington Hill
Is Headington Hill in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Headington Hill is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Oxford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Headington Hill is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access

Do you need glazing silicone in Headington Hill?
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Headington Hill
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Homes in smaller places like Headington Hill can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
