Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Holton
We work across Holton on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about failed joints on frameless glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
Somewhere as small as Holton, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Holton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Other services in Holton
Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. For a village or hamlet like Holton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- 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

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints

Holton homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Garsington Manor (about 3.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Holton as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Wheatley Park School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near The Granary Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
