Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Adambrae is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

Facade sealing in Adambrae, done properly
Managing agents and owners in Adambrae ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are previous reseals run over old sealant and air leaks through failed facade joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Adambrae? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Sites near smaller places like Adambrae can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Signs you need facade sealing in Adambrae
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Water coming in around window frames
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Hotels like Bankton House Hotel, 1.1 miles to the east of Adambrae, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How they’ll work around occupants
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

Common questions from Adambrae clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as St. Ellen’s Private Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work at a site such as Brucefield Industrial Park, by Adambrae?
Yes. Our area takes in Adambrae and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Brucefield Industrial Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Contractors’ notes for Adambrae
Adambrae has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. In Adambrae, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Further education sites such as West Lothian College (to the north of Adambrae) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. New wings at hospitals like St. Ellen’s Private Hospital, 0.6 miles to the north of Adambrae, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
