New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hookwood
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
In a village or hamlet like Hookwood, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Horley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Hookwood for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hookwood is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are usually two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
New build mastic around Hookwood
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.
Around Hookwood, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Horley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Hookwood, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
