- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
Managing a site like The Langley Academy Primary? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Langley
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. Typical jobs include cracked mastic round a front door frame and draughts and rain around sash boxes, across stone surrounds, brick reveals and period & listed homes.
Around Langley, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Timber door frames
- Brick reveals

How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Round a period front door, sand mastic gives the right look.
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It suits older brickwork.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Parking around Langley is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Sand mastic in Langley: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Windsor Castle (about 2.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Langley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around St Mary the Virgin Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Langley station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

What happens if it’s left?
New sash windows are a major, costly change, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Around Langley, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
