Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we handle glazing silicone in New Hinksey
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down inside the glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Many houses in smaller places like New Hinksey have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like New Hinksey, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Windows and doors in New Hinksey
With historic houses such as Holywell Manor (about 1.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around New Hinksey 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What affects the quote in New Hinksey
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints

Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In an older home around New Hinksey, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Signs you need glazing silicone in New Hinksey
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Managing a site like New Hinksey Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
