Contractors’ notes for Temple Bar
As part of Greater London, Temple Bar is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Temple Bar. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
When units on a site such as Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles to the south-east of Temple Bar, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Building work at universities like King's College London, less than half a mile west of Temple Bar, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Hotels like Z City Hotel, less than half a mile east of Temple Bar, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Temple Bar is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in Greater London. Any commercial site in Temple Bar is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Temple Bar is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for facade joints.

About our facade sealing in Temple Bar
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Temple Bar. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed sealant on precast panel joints and draughts around frames and panels. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Temple Bar tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Every London site, Temple Bar 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Temple Bar
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- A fixed quote before work starts

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Share access with other external trades
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
