About facade sealing in Aberdeen
Managing agents and owners in Aberdeen ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels.
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Building work around Aberdeen
Across Aberdeen, including Rosemount, Berryden and Ferryhill, construction ranges from housing and schools to offices, units and refurbishments. Window and door perimeters, facade and cladding joints and internal sealant are sealed to the specification and the programme.
Across Aberdeen, outside sealant work is planned around the weather, so we keep some flexibility in the dates. Along the coast in Aberdeen, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, so work is often best planned for quieter months.
Aberdeen: For a contractor working at a hospital such as Royal Cornhill Hospital (under half a mile east of Aberdeen), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Berryden Retail Park (less than half a mile north-east of Aberdeen) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Common problems we fix in Aberdeen
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Leave it or put it right?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both.

- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Building owners, agents and FMs in Aberdeen
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Questions we’re asked in Aberdeen
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
