Questions about Reston
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Reston?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can the mastic package for our job in Reston follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems, so we wait rather than redo work.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How we handle construction mastic in Reston
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Reston, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints, and what we are called in for most is window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Reston is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
External sealing around Reston depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why act early in Reston
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference and external joints are where it shows first. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Reston, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby; we confirm the time for each product.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Reston
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Reston can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
