FAQs: Balgay
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Balgay?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. Send details and photographs, and we will quote to whoever is arranging it.
Our building in Balgay is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
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, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
About our facade sealing in Balgay
Managing agents and owners in Balgay ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and damp patches beside frames after rain, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Balgay, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Where new frames meet sandstone or granite in a Scottish city, the sealant has to suit the stone: the right primer, a neutral-cure sealant and a colour that blends.
Work we carry out in Dundee comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

What happens if it’s left?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Take a look at how commercial sealant jobs are priced and how we’re accredited.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Balgay can form part of a wider programme across Dundee.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Balgay. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Balgay lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Balgay. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
