What happens if it’s left?

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Glazing silicone in Upton, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are water running down inside the glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame.
Homes in small places like Upton 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Is the work guaranteed?

What we’re called out for in Upton
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Rented homes near Didcot Parkway station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Glazing silicone in Upton: local notes
London and the South East are among 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 Brightwell Manor (about 4.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Upton, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
