Your questions answered
Is Ardler off your patch?
Not at all. Ardler is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Ardler
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and patch repairs that keep failing. Most enquiries from Ardler start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Ardler that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
Signs you need facade sealing in Ardler
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Look out for the following:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Water coming in around window frames
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital, which lies west of Ardler, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Before you book anyone
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Ardler is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Facades, frames and programmes in Ardler
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Ardler warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Ardler is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We programme around it with the site team.
Historic houses such as Balhary House (to the north of Ardler) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Work on the window or framing system itself
