How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. A visit to Hook Norton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hook Norton
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We’re often asked to deal with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and skirting & floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Hook Norton, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Hook Norton and everywhere else we cover.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and agents in Hook Norton can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Hook Norton
Can you do new build mastic in Hook Norton?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hook Norton is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Hook Norton?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What affects the quote in Hook Norton
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote

- A few photos by email, if you can

- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode

What we’re called out for in Hook Norton
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
Look out for any of the following:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Around Hook Norton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
New homes and floors in Hook Norton
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.

Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we will quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
