About our window mastic in Langham
Homes in Langham have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Typical jobs include untidy mastic left by window fitters and black, perished sealant on frames, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and composite doors.
In a village or hamlet like Langham, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much there is to do
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Questions from Langham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Colchester station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Langham?
Yes. Langham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Langham?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You will know the timing when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
