Glazing Silicone in Sibford Ferris
Glazing joints in Sibford Ferris need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Sibford Ferris
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down inside the glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
In a village or hamlet like Sibford Ferris, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Sibford Ferris
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Rooflight joints letting water in
In the older streets around Church of Holy Trinity, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Landlord and commercial work in Sibford Ferris
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Sibford Ferris, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Windows and doors in Sibford Ferris
The South East is one of 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 Broughton Castle (about 3.8 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sibford Ferris as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Sibford School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Why act early in Sibford Ferris
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sibford Ferris, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
