How we handle glazing silicone in Kiddington
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you have new silicone smeared over old sealant and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Kiddington, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Kiddington, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access

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.
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.
Kiddington: your questions answered
Is Kiddington in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kiddington is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Kiddington within the area you cover?
Yes. Kiddington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you are paying for.
Common problems we fix in Kiddington
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you let a flat or house near Charlbury station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Kiddington homes and the weather
Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 4.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Kiddington 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Why act early in Kiddington
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kiddington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
