When to call us in Milton-under-Wychwood
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
In the older streets around Church of St Simon and St Jude, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What happens if it’s left?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Around Milton-under-Wychwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Milton-under-Wychwood in your area for glazing silicone?

How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most jobs. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you are paying for.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
What else we do in Milton-under-Wychwood
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
