Common problems we fix in Ballater
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Glenaden Hotel (under half a mile south-west of Ballater), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What to look for in a quote
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Ballater
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are discoloured or dirty facade joints and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ballater from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
External sealing around Ballater depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather.

Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Questions about Ballater
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Ballater?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Ballater too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Ballater are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Ballater is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Advice
Mastic packages on Ballater sites
The area within 2 miles of Ballater holds plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. In Ballater, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Ballater Industrial Estate, less than half a mile east of Ballater, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Around smaller places like Ballater, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
