About our glazing silicone in Thame
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
In a town like Thame, older houses sit alongside newer estates, with windows of every age. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common questions in Thame
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Thame?
All our work, in Thame and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I let a flat near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 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.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Thame?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and they’re far easier to fix early.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Thame
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Thame 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. Historic houses like Adwell House (about 3.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Thame 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What we’re called out for in Thame
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barley Hill Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What else we do in Thame
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. In Thame, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
