Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Temple Fortune
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are communal area joints that look neglected and draught complaints from residents or tenants. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Temple Fortune first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a job in Temple Fortune, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. In Temple Fortune, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Common questions from Temple Fortune clients
Can work in a care setting near Temple Fortune go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
We manage a building near Brent Cross West station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
