How we handle construction mastic in Downside
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Downside, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions, and what we’re called in for most is external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and a long mastic snag list close to completion. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Downside 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.
Around smaller places like Downside, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Signs you need construction mastic in Downside
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
Projects at schools like St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions we are asked in Downside
Would you work within a site like Cobham Community Hospital and Health Centre?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Downside off your patch?
No. Places such as Downside are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. Share the list and photographs, and a fixed quote follows, with the work timed to your handover date.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure. We flag them as soon as we see them.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. For a building around Downside, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

What else we do in Downside
Building and refurbishing in Downside
Rainfall across the South East, Downside included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Downside is about 19 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Extensions at sites like Cobham Community Hospital and Health Centre (to the north of Downside) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Bookham Industrial Estate (2 miles south-east of Downside) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Downside is about 4 miles west of Leatherhead, in Surrey. Looking for construction mastic in Downside? We can help. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, including Downside. We also cover London, around 19 miles from Downside.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout KT11, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Downside Common, Downsview Close and Deacon Close or nearby, send details and we will quote for mastic packages. Close to Downside, our area also takes in Hatchford (1 mile west), Martyr's Green (1 mile south-west), Hatchford End (2 miles west), Whiteley Village (3 miles north) and Wisley (3 miles west). Nearby towns on our patch include Guildford (8 miles south-west), Woking (7 miles west), Camberley (14 miles west), Epsom (6 miles east), Horley (14 miles south-east) and Redhill (12 miles south-east).
Around Downside
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Plough Public House and Parkside School. The nearest railway station is Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, roughly 1 mile north-east. Nearby you will also find Epsom Cottage Hospital (5.1 miles north-east) and Send and Ripley History Society Museum (3.8 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Jubilee Wood and Boldermere Lake.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Around Downside, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed before work starts
- One number for every site we cover
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
