About our facade sealing in Braemar
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you’re dealing with discoloured or dirty facade joints and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Braemar from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Sites near smaller places like Braemar can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near Braemar are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Ask for a 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.

Cost factors for facade joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why deal with it now?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Around smaller places like Braemar, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Building and refurbishing in Braemar
Braemar is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team. Building work in Braemar comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
For contractors building in or near Braemar, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. For a contractor at a hotel such as Fife Arms Hotel, under half a mile north of Braemar, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in finished to throw water off the joint.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
