Shellingford: your questions answered
Is Shellingford within the area you cover?
Yes. Shellingford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is glazing silicone in Shellingford guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Shellingford?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Glazing silicone in Shellingford, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. 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. If you are dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right, on rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Shellingford, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Shellingford
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Managing a site like Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Glass that needs replacing
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Glazing silicone in Shellingford: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Faith, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
