What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Providing access systems for the work
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
Facade sealing in Broughty Ferry, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you’re dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Broughty Ferry is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Where new frames meet sandstone or granite in a Scottish city, the sealant has to suit the stone: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
Work we carry out in Dundee comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Do you need facade sealing in Broughty Ferry?
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Hospital estates such as Ashludie Hospital, 2 miles north-east of Broughty Ferry, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What site paperwork they can supply
What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint.
Questions we’re asked in Broughty Ferry
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Broughty Ferry?
In most tenements, the owners agree shared repairs, and many use a property factor to arrange them. Send details and photographs, and we’ll quote to whoever is arranging it.
Our building in Broughty Ferry is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is Broughty Ferry in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Broughty Ferry.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What you get with us
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

New build and refits around Broughty Ferry
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Broughty Ferry. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. A 2-mile radius around Broughty Ferry takes in a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hotels like Best Western Woodlands Hotel, 0.6 miles to the east of Broughty Ferry, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Further education sites such as Dundee and Angus College - Gardyne Campus, 1.8 miles to the west of Broughty Ferry, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let us know about inductions and permits
