About our new build mastic in Hook
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Around Hook, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need new build mastic in Hook
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
In and around Hook, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New build mastic around Hook
Hook is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Swanwick station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hook
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Landlords and agents in Hook can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Hook, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hook can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
