Mastic sealing in Hookwood, done properly
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. If you have failed external movement joints and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Hookwood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For owners with a single building near Hookwood, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Hookwood need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Mastic sealing in Hookwood: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Hookwood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. At about 23 miles from central London, Hookwood is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Horley station (to the east of Hookwood) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Older community buildings, Church of St Bartholomew among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Hookwood is about 1 mile south-west of Horley, in Surrey. We cover commercial sites throughout Hookwood. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places, large and small. London is covered too, around 23 miles from Hookwood.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Hookwood
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damp patches beside frames
For owners of several units at places like Gatwick Business Park, which lies west of Hookwood, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Your questions answered
We manage a building near Horley station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you work at a site such as Gatwick Business Park, by Hookwood?
Yes, sites like Gatwick Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hookwood. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Is Hookwood in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Hookwood, and the same phone number covers every area.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
