Glazing silicone in Watlington, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you have rooflight joints letting water in and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In smaller places like Watlington, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Watlington as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Why act early in Watlington
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Around Watlington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.

What glazing silicone looks like in Watlington
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Adwell House (about 3.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Watlington as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

When to call us in Watlington
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Watlington Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
