Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Milton Common
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and people most often call us about shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and cracked silicone between glass panels.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Milton Common is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Milton Common
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Adwell House (about 3.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Milton Common as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In and around Milton Common, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Milton Common is about 4 miles west of Thame, in Oxfordshire.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens if it’s left?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Milton Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Milton Common
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Helen, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What preparation is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.

Is Milton Common within the area you cover?
Yes, Milton Common is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
