How we handle construction mastic in Temple Mills
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. For construction mastic on a scheme in Temple Mills, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. We work on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Temple Mills, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Every London site, Temple Mills included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Construction mastic in Temple Mills: the local picture
There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Temple Mills. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Site traffic in Temple Mills falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
Units on estates such as Leyton Mills Retail Park (less than half a mile north-east of Temple Mills) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. New wings at hospitals like Homerton University Hospital, 1.4 miles west of Temple Mills, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. In Temple Mills, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site

Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

What we are called out for in Temple Mills
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
For contractors at a college like International College of Musical Theatre, 0.6 miles south-west of Temple Mills, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Cost factors for mastic packages
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.
