Reston: questions and answers
Which documents can you supply for work in Reston?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Reston?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Coloured sealant in Reston
Natural materials vary across a single elevation: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. We choose a colour that reads well across the surface rather than chasing one spot. We work on office fit-out finishes, shop-fit joinery and counters and cladding panels, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are coloured joints that have cracked with movement and weathered sealant that no longer matches. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Reston from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Reston, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Sealant on show in Reston’s commercial buildings
The east of Scotland, where Reston is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that
Shops and cafés around stations like Reston station (to the south-east of Reston) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Reston is in the Scottish Borders.

For managing agents and facilities managers
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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Reston can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When to call us in Reston
Colour-matched sealant is usually requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: a pale bead on a dark frame, or an old seal that has discoloured. A better-matched colour fixes the appearance without changing the joint’s job.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
Whatever the building in Reston, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs near Reston are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Request a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Advice
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent for whoever reseals next.
