When to call us in Hookwood
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Look out for the following:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
Projects at schools like Manorfield Primary and Nursery School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Facade sealing in Hookwood
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and new sealant peeling off old mastic. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hookwood first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Hookwood, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Hookwood

Questions we’re asked in Hookwood
Would you work within a site like Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private)?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Gatwick Business Park, close to Hookwood?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hookwood, Gatwick Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you cover Hookwood?
Yes. We cover Hookwood, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Building and refurbishing in Hookwood
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Hookwood lies roughly 23 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Hospital estates such as Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private) (to the east of Hookwood) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Hotels like Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central Hotel, 0.5 miles east of Hookwood, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
