Facade sealing in Allandale, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. Most enquiries involve patch repairs that keep failing and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Allandale? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Allandale is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
What happens if it’s left?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. For buildings near Allandale, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The price depends on 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.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Forth Valley Royal Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does your area include sites such as Chattan Industrial Estate, near Allandale?
Yes. Our area takes in Allandale and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Chattan Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, and we build that into the programme.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
New build and refits around Allandale
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Allandale warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. The east of Scotland, where Allandale is, gets less rain than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External dates keep a little give.
Units on estates such as Chattan Industrial Estate (2 miles north-east of Allandale) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them 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.
