About our glazing silicone in Sandford-on-Thames
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Typical jobs include glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
Somewhere as small as Sandford-on-Thames, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sandford-on-Thames
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Sandford-on-Thames, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Windows and doors in Sandford-on-Thames
With historic houses such as Garsington Manor (about 2.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sandford-on-Thames as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
Schools such as John Henry Newman Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Radley station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Do you need glazing silicone in Sandford-on-Thames?
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Sandford-on-Thames.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Sandford-on-Thames, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
