Construction mastic for Temple sites

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

  • Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
  • Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
  • Rework caused by others damaging completed areas

If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Brick and block movement joints

Construction mastic in Temple

Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas, so applicators arrive when areas are genuinely ready. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. Most enquiries involve a long mastic snag list close to completion and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Temple it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Temple must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in City of London. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Do you need construction mastic in Temple?

Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
  • A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
  • Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
  • Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover

For a contractor at a hotel such as Z City Hotel (under half a mile north of Temple), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Comparing quotes

  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • Who will actually carry out the work
  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

How the quote is worked out

These are the things that shape the price:

  • Phasing around occupants
  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • The total length or number of joints
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Sending details for a quote

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:

  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • Access details, including height
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.

Commercial clients in Temple

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Temple can form part of a wider programme.

What the job involves on each surface

Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms

Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere, plot by plot or floor by floor.

External facade and movement joints

Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies and work only when conditions suit.

New build and refits around Temple

Temple has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Site traffic in Temple falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in.

For contractors refurbishing units at places like Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles south-east of Temple, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. On a healthcare site such as St Bartholomew's Hospital, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Temple, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Temple is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in City of London. Anywhere in SE1, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our City of London coverage takes in 7 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

Business premises anywhere in SE1, WC2H and WC2B are within our area for mastic packages. If your site is on Shoe Lane, Drury Lane and New Square or close by, send details and we’ll quote for mastic packages. With the A4 and A40 nearby, Temple is straightforward for us to reach. Close to Temple, our area also takes in Temple Bar (1 mile north), Blackfriars (1 mile east), Aldwych (1 mile west), Clare Market (1 mile north-west) and Covent Garden (1 mile west).

On site: what to expect

Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. In Temple, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.

  1. First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
  2. You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
  3. Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
  4. We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
  5. Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
  6. The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice

Common questions from Temple clients

Can you work on a hospital site such as St Bartholomew's Hospital?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.

Do you take on jobs in Temple where loading and access are tightly controlled?

Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it

Can weather delay the job?

Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Will you quote for a small job?

Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?

Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.

Can you work to our specification?

We use the product the specification names. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
