About our facade sealing in Ardrossan
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 with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are facade joints cracked through the middle and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Ardrossan? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For a site around Ardrossan, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
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, so brief your window cleaners.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
What we are called out for in Ardrossan
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 tears as the joint moves.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
For contractors at a school such as Ardrossan Academy, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Sites and facades in and around Ardrossan
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ardrossan. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Being in the west of Scotland, Ardrossan gets more rain than eastern areas. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Woodland View, 5.3 miles east of Ardrossan, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Lauriston Hotel, which lies south-east of Ardrossan, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Ardrossan, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Ardrossan: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Woodland View?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Ardrossan outside your area?
No. Places such as Ardrossan are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
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.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
