Facade sealing in Auldhouse, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Auldhouse is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
FAQs: Auldhouse
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Auldhouse?
Work on shared parts is typically agreed by the owners, often through a property factor. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Would you work within a site like New Victoria Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Auldhouse can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Auldhouse
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
