About our glazing silicone in Shabbington
Across Shabbington, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you are dealing with mouldy sealant around glass panels and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Shabbington, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Shabbington
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need glazing silicone in Shabbington?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
Letting a property close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Shabbington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
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. Around Shabbington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames

Shabbington homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Adwell House (about 4.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shabbington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Ickford School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
