Twelve Oaks: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Twelve Oaks in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Twelve Oaks is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we will say so.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Generally, yes. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Window mastic in Twelve Oaks
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and composite doors, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and black, perished sealant on frames.
In a village or hamlet like Twelve Oaks, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.

What else we do in Twelve Oaks
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Look round the frames every year or so
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job. In a small place like Twelve Oaks, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Common problems we fix in Twelve Oaks
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?

Twelve Oaks homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Bateman's (about 2.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Twelve Oaks as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
For landlords with property near Robertsbridge station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What affects the quote in Twelve Oaks
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows

- Aluminium frames
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Twelve Oaks, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
