Downley New Build Mastic
We cover Downley for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
How we handle new build mastic in Downley
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes, and the jobs we see most are sealant work across a run of new homes and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
Work in a small place like Downley just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Downley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Downley questions
Do you work for landlords with property near High Wycombe station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Downley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

What else we do in Downley
When to call us in Downley
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
If you’ve bought a new home near High Wycombe station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures. In a small place like Downley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
