How we handle facade sealing in Boddam
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured or dirty facade joints and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Most enquiries from Boddam start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Boddam 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Mastic packages on Boddam sites
Boddam is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Boddam has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
New wings at hospitals like Peterhead Community Hospital, 2.2 miles to the north of Boddam, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When units on a site such as Dales Industrial Estate (1.6 miles north-west of Boddam) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Boddam is about 2 miles south of Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Boddam. Boddam is one of 179 places we cover in Aberdeenshire for facade joints. There’s a separate page for Aberdeen, about 25 miles away.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Dales Industrial Estate, close to Boddam?
Yes. Our area takes in Boddam and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Dales Industrial Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Our building in Boddam 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. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Is Boddam in your area?
Yes. Sites across Boddam are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Boddam, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Common problems we fix in Boddam
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Water coming in around window frames
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
For a contractor at a hotel such as Seaview Hotel (under half a mile north-east of Boddam), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
