New build mastic in Hook Common
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Typical jobs include gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
Around Hook Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

Hook Common: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hook Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before work begins.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Surface by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Hook Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hook Common
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in Hook Common
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. In a small place like Hook Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
