About our glazing silicone in Steeple Barton
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Somewhere as small as Steeple Barton, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. Somewhere like Steeple Barton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.

Do you need glazing silicone in Steeple Barton?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Letting a property close to Heyford station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What glazing silicone looks like in Steeple Barton
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Middle Barton Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
Why it’s worth doing now in Steeple Barton
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we will tell you if that is not the case. Older cottages and farmhouses around Steeple Barton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
