How we handle window mastic in Temple Bar
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are mastic that has split away from the wall and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the quote in Temple Bar
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In a flat in Temple Bar, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Full insurance on every job

London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Temple Bar?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you work on commercial sites?

Are you insured?

Do you work on first-floor windows?

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In Temple Bar, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Temple Bar homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Dr Johnson's House (about 0.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Temple Bar has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Temple Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What we’re called out for in Temple Bar
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
