About our facade sealing in Banchory
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and patch repairs that keep failing. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Banchory is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Banchory is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What else we do in Banchory
Common problems we fix in Banchory
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
Work at a hotel such as Banchory Lodge Hotel & Restaurant, 0.6 miles south of Banchory, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

FAQs: Banchory
Is a hospital such as Glen O'Dee Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Banchory too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Banchory are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Banchory is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Around smaller places like Banchory, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
