New build mastic in Hoo
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you have cracked sealant around new window and door frames and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Hoo, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Hoo: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Minster station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Hoo for new build mastic?
Yes, Hoo is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents and landlords in Hoo can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What happens if it’s left?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Hoo, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Signs you need new build mastic in Hoo
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Hoo, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Hoo, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
How to get a quote
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
New build mastic in Hoo: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
