About our glazing silicone in Radley
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We’re often asked to deal with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Around Radley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Glazing silicone in Radley: local notes
With historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor (about 2.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Radley 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Radley station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Radley Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Radley: your questions answered
Do you cover Radley for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Radley is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Radley?
Yes. Radley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Radley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
