About our glazing silicone in Shillingford
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. Typical jobs include rooflight joints letting water in and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Shillingford is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Shillingford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What glazing silicone looks like in Shillingford
With historic houses such as Brightwell Manor (about 1.8 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shillingford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Lawrence, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like St Laurence Church of England (A) School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shillingford can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
What we’re called out for in Shillingford
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
If you let a flat or house near Cholsey station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
