What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
About our glazing silicone in Thrupp
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you have black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can put it right, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames alike.
Homes in small places like Thrupp often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
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.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Thrupp homes and the weather
Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 2.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Thrupp has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Oxford Parkway station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as The Marlborough Church of England School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Holy Cross, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. In a small place like Thrupp, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Thrupp questions
I let a flat near Oxford Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Thrupp?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
