Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Around smaller places like Bourtreehill, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Facade sealing in Bourtreehill, done properly
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have cold air coming in at window perimeters and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Bourtreehill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Bourtreehill 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. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.

- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters

Projects in Bourtreehill follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Bourtreehill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
