- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Langley Common
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We are often asked to deal with mastic that has split away from the wall and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and window sills.
In a village or hamlet like Langley Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wokingham.

FAQs for Langley Common
Do you cover Langley Common for window mastic?
Yes, Langley Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What affects the quote in Langley Common
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
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 will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
What window mastic looks like in Langley Common
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to St Eligius include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.

We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In a small place like Langley Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
