Glazing Silicone in Hethe
Professional glazing silicone in and around Hethe, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Glazing silicone in Hethe, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water running down inside the glass.
Around Hethe, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Frames and glazing around Hethe
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Edmund and George, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Bicester North station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Hethe needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Hethe questions
Will you come out to Hethe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bicester North station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Common problems we fix in Hethe
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
Look out for these signs:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Managing a site like Fringford Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Before you book anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hethe
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Hethe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: 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 go through it with you.
