I use Servisol silicone grease, which is meant for such applications. I think Maplin may stock, but as a tube lasts for years as it's used sparingly . I can't recall where I got my last tube from. To quote the maker's description:
Quote:
A multi purpose silicone grease. Waterproofs, insulates and preserves electrical and electronic equipment. Ideal for switch contacts, ignition systems and EHT connections. Excellent dielectric properties. Working temperature range of 50 deg C to 200 deg C. supplied with extension tube to reach inaccessible areas, Y063L, Silicone Grease 70
Unquote.
Here's a link to several suppliers:

Hope that helps.
