Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Shutford
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and leaks from the base of a shower screen, across rooflights, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
Around Shutford, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Shutford homes and the weather
Historic houses like Broughton Castle (about 2.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Shutford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Rented homes near Banbury station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Shutford, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What we are called out for in Shutford
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
If you live in an older home near Church of St Martin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
