About our mastic sealing in Temple Ewell
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains 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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and complaints coming in block by block, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Temple Ewell? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For buildings around smaller places like Temple Ewell, we group work so one trip covers it. Send photos of the frames and joints and we will give a fixed quote.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Planned mastic for Temple Ewell portfolios
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Temple Ewell. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first; plan inspections around that. Temple Ewell lies roughly 64 miles out from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
For owners of several units at places like White Cliffs Business Park, 1.4 miles to the east of Temple Ewell, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. For a school such as Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

What we’re called out for in Temple Ewell
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Damp patches beside frames
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Kearsney station, less than half a mile to the south of Temple Ewell, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
