Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep timber frames painted
- Don’t paint over the silicone
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before we start. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Windows and doors in Langley
Historic houses like Knebworth House (about 1.3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Langley has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
Rented homes near Stevenage station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Thomas Alleyne School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How we quote for window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Around Langley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Langley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
