How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Ibstone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
How we handle glazing silicone in Ibstone
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. Common call-outs are for failed joints on frameless glass and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
In a village or hamlet like Ibstone, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Ibstone
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Glazing silicone in Ibstone: local notes
Historic houses like Stonor Park (about 3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Ibstone has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Ibstone CofE Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
