DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Window mastic in Langley: local notes
Langley is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Blackfield Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Hamble station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Langley questions
Does the coastal weather in Langley affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
I let a flat near Hamble station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 work begins.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Advice
Signs you need window mastic in Langley
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Homes close to St Francis include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
Landlord and commercial work in Langley
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
