Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
About our facade sealing in Bogton
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is damp patches beside frames after rain and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Most enquiries from Bogton 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 Bogton is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Contractors’ notes for Bogton
Being in the east of Scotland, Bogton gets less rain than the west coast. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready. Projects in Bogton follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
On a healthcare site such as Turriff Cottage Hospital, 3.7 miles to the east of Bogton, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Sites around Bogton get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Bogton: questions and answers
Is Bogton too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Bogton?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.

Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Jobs near Bogton are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
