Temple: your questions answered
Is Temple within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Marlow station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Temple?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
New build mastic in Temple
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Temple, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common problems we fix in Temple
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Temple, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first.
New build mastic in Temple: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Marlow station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Temple is about 2 miles south of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. From the centre of Temple to the outskirts, new build mastic is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. 263 places in Buckinghamshire are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages. There’s also a page for Reading, roughly 11 miles from Temple.

Local landmarks in Temple
In Temple, that means homes and buildings near Sir William Borlase's Grammar School and The Bull Inn and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Marlow station, about 1.6 miles north-east. Nearby you will also find Marlow Community Hospital (1.7 miles north-east) and Marlow Museum (1.2 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Carpenter's Wood and Weycock Hill.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos. In a small place like Temple, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Temple, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
