About our glazing silicone in Somerton
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked silicone between glass panels and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Somerton is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Somerton questions
Is Somerton within the area you cover?
Yes. Somerton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Heyford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you replace glass?
We do not replace glass. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Somerton homes and the weather
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.
In the older streets around Church of St James, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. Around Somerton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Somerton
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
If you let a flat or house near Heyford station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
