Facade sealing in Perth and Kinross: how it works

We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Perth and Kinross. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes.

Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out.

  1. We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
  2. Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
  3. Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
  4. Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
  5. Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the price in Perth and Kinross

Near you in Perth

We work on buildings around Public House, St John's Academy and Perth High School and the streets around them. The closest station to Perth is Perth station, about 0.7 miles south-east. Nearby you’ll also find Murray Royal Hospital (1.2 miles east) and Balhousie Castle (0.6 miles north-east). Not far away are St Magdalene's Hill.

New build and refurbishment in Perth and Kinross

We take on mastic packages across Perth and Kinross, on large sites in places such as Perth, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff and small schemes elsewhere. Whatever paperwork the site requires, from RAMS to CSCS details, we confirm when we quote.

Across Perth and Kinross, outside sealant work is planned around the weather, with a little give in the programme for wet or frosty days. Perth and Kinross includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.

Perth: Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Lovat Hotel (under half a mile south of Perth), usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. When units on a site such as St Catherine's Retail Park, under half a mile to the east of Perth, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Surface by surface

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.

Precast concrete panels

Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.

Signs you need facade sealing

New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
  • Facade joints cracked through the middle
  • Failed sealant on precast panel joints
  • New sealant peeling off old mastic

Why deal with it now?

Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak.

Comparing quotes

  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • Their pre-qualification and accreditations

For managing agents and facilities managers

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Cost factors for facade joints

To price the job, we consider:

  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • How much there is to seal
  • Distance, for remote addresses

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Before you send an enquiry

For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:

  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • Any specification or named product
  • Your programme or deadline

For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.

Common questions from Perth and Kinross clients

How long will the new sealant last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.

Can you work on upper floors?

That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us, describe the access, and we will plan the work with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.

Is it okay to overlay old mastic?

No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.

Is Perth and Kinross in your area?

Yes. Perth and Kinross falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Do you seal facades in winter?

We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
