A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. Searching for sealant specialists in Milton? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around Milton, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Milton. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Your questions answered
Is Milton too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Milton are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Milton?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
