How we handle construction mastic in Wilton
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. For construction mastic on a scheme in Wilton, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. If you are dealing with a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wilton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
External sealing around Wilton depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
Common questions from Wilton clients
Is Wilton too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Hawick Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. The specification decides which.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere following the programme.
Mastic packages on Wilton sites
Being in the east of Scotland, Wilton gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready. The area within 2 miles of Wilton holds a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Annfield Business Centre, less than half a mile to the east of Wilton, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Projects at schools like Hawick High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Wilton is about 1 mile west of Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. We cover commercial sites throughout Wilton, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across the Scottish Borders, 91 places are covered, Wilton among them. Sites around Edinburgh have their own page, about 39 miles away.

What else we do in Wilton
When to call us in Wilton
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
Historic houses such as Harden, 3.1 miles to the west of Wilton, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site

Quoting for work in Wilton
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- Distance, for remote addresses
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
