Facade sealing in Boat of Garten
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we are asked to look at most are damp patches beside frames after rain and draughts around frames and panels. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Boat of Garten? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In smaller places such as Boat of Garten, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What to include in your enquiry

- The postcode of the building

- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Questions we’re asked in Boat of Garten
Can you keep pace with our programme in Boat of Garten?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Boat of Garten?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
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. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Boat of Garten
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
A facade joint near Boat of Garten lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
