Facade sealing in Balnagask
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have previous reseals run over old sealant and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Balnagask, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
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. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. 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 look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Ask for a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

New build and refits around Balnagask
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Balnagask. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Balnagask is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
When a school such as Torry Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For contractors on a campus like Robert Gordon University (1.5 miles north-west of Balnagask), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Balnagask, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Balnagask is about 1 mile east of Ferryhill, in Aberdeen. We send applicators to Balnagask for facade joints. Balnagask is one of 40 places we cover in Aberdeen for facade joints.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
FAQs: Balnagask
Can you work at a site such as East Tullos Industrial Estate, by Balnagask?
Yes. Our area takes in Balnagask and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as East Tullos Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does a coastal location like Balnagask affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
