Glazing silicone in Oaker Hill
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about water getting into a conservatory at the joints and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Oaker Hill is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Oaker Hill
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Oaker Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Oaker Hill questions
Will you come out to Oaker Hill?
Yes. Oaker Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is glazing silicone in Oaker Hill guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
What glazing silicone looks like in Oaker Hill
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. Historic houses like Hedingham Castle (about 3.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Oaker Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Andrew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
