How facade sealing works in Dundee
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Most enquiries involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and damp patches beside frames after rain, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints.
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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.
What you’ll pay
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Building work around Dundee
We take on mastic packages across Dundee, on large sites in places such as Broughty Ferry, Stobswell and Blackness and small schemes elsewhere. Send drawings, the programme and your paperwork requirements, and we will confirm everything with the quote.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but external sealing anywhere in Scotland needs a dry joint and the right temperature, with a little give in the programme for wet or frosty days. In the parts of Dundee near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Dundee: Further education sites such as Dundee and Angus College - Kingsway Campus (0.7 miles north of Dundee) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For a contractor at a hotel such as Hotel Indigo Dundee, 0.9 miles south-east of Dundee, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Dundee
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Questions about Dundee
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you cover Dundee?
Yes. We cover Dundee, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
