About our mastic sealing in Temple Mills
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Temple Mills carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and movement joints with sealant missing. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Temple Mills, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a London area such as Temple Mills, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Temple Mills
Temple Mills has 36 care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home. Blocks in London are normally run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations, with residents to notify and access to arrange. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents.
For a school such as Chobham Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Student blocks close to universities like Loughborough University London, under half a mile west of Temple Mills, are easiest to work on between tenancies.

What’s near Temple Mills

Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Temple Mills takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What you get with us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

Signs you need mastic sealing in Temple Mills
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed external movement joints
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Landlords with units on estates such as Leyton Mills Retail Park (to the north-east of Temple Mills) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Commercial clients in Temple Mills
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Temple Mills. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and we clear our waste as we work. Planning a London job such as one in Temple Mills starts with access: 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’ll schedule to suit.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Agree which areas must stay open
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.

Temple Mills: questions and answers
We manage a building near Stratford International station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
