Our facade sealing service in Angus
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are patch repairs that keep failing and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.
- First we review photographs, 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Near you in Arbroath
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Arbroath High School, Knox's Church and The Corn Exchange pub, among other places. There’s a railway station in Arbroath itself: Arbroath station. Well-known places in the area include Arbroath Signal Tower Museum (0.6 miles south) and Arbroath Infirmary (0.6 miles south).
New build and refurbishment in Angus
From Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose to smaller places across Angus, main contractors and developers need mastic packages for new build and refurbishment. Window and door perimeters, facade and cladding joints and internal sealant are sealed to the specification and the programme.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but external sealing anywhere in Scotland needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so we keep some flexibility in the dates. In the parts of Angus near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Arbroath: For a contractor working at a hospital such as Arbroath Infirmary, which lies south of Arbroath, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When a school such as Arbroath High School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Share access with other external trades
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in finished to throw water off the joint.
Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Proof of insurance
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
Questions about Angus
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
