Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Auchterarder
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patch repairs that keep failing and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. For commercial sealant work in Auchterarder, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Auchterarder that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Common questions from Auchterarder clients
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Auchterarder?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St Margaret's Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.

Advice
Mastic packages on Auchterarder sites
In Auchterarder, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic package follows the approved specification. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Auchterarder. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Projects at schools like Community School of Auchterarder work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hospital estates such as St Margaret's Hospital (0.5 miles west of Auchterarder) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. For a contractor at a hotel such as Star Hotel, which lies north-west of Auchterarder, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
Why it’s worth doing now in Auchterarder
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Auchterarder before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
