About our facade sealing in Cardrona
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. Most enquiries involve previous reseals run over old sealant and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, across shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Cardrona it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Cardrona 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
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.

New build and refits around Cardrona
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Cardrona warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Cardrona is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We programme around it with the site team.
Extensions at sites like Hay Lodge Hospital (to the west of Cardrona) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Work at a hotel such as Cardrona Hotel (to the west of Cardrona) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

FAQs: Cardrona
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Hay Lodge Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Cardrona off your patch?
Not at all. Cardrona is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Cardrona with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Get a fixed quote

Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Around smaller places like Cardrona, 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. Call for a quote.
