When to call us in Temple
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Look out for the following:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Student blocks close to universities like King's College London (to the west of Temple) are easiest to work on between tenancies.

About our mastic sealing in Temple
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Temple it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For managing agents in Temple, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Looking after buildings in and around Temple
In London, mastic work on a block goes through the managing agent or landlord, with notice to residents. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents.
For owners of several units at places like Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles south-east of Temple, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If your remit includes a building such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Temple is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in City of London. Anywhere in SE1, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Temple is one of 7 places in City of London on our list.
Postcode districts covered here: SE1, WC2H and WC2B. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Shoe Lane, Drury Lane and New Square and the roads nearby. With the A4 and A40 nearby, Temple is easy to get to with materials and equipment. Just outside Temple, we also work 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).

Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
FAQs: Temple
Will you take on work at estates like Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, close to Temple?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Temple, Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you take on a block within reach of London Blackfriars station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
