Glazing Silicone in Northway
Problem with your glazing joints in Northway? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking around Northway is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
About our glazing silicone in Northway
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
In smaller places like Northway, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is

What we are called out for in Northway
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
If you live in an older home near St Anthony of Padua, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Northway homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Holywell Manor (about 1.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Northway as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as New Marston Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What else we do in Northway
Why it’s worth doing now in Northway
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. In an older home around Northway, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Questions from Northway
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Northway?
Yes, Northway is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
