Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Claverhouse
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about facade joints cracked through the middle and new sealant peeling off old mastic, across shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Claverhouse? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around Claverhouse, city construction ranges from new offices, student housing and flats to the refurbishment of traditional stone buildings. Work comes under Scotland’s own building standards, and our job is to seal to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close

Facade sealing in Claverhouse: the local picture
Claverhouse sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Building work in Claverhouse comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
For contractors at a college like Dundee and Angus College - Kingsway Campus, 0.7 miles to the south-west of Claverhouse, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Extensions at sites like Kings Cross Hospital, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Claverhouse, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Claverhouse is about 1 mile north of Dundee, in Dundee. Anywhere in DD3, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 28 places in Dundee, from busy centres to rural villages.
If you need facade sealing in DD3 and DD4, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. For a building on Newton Road, Emmock Road and Emmock Lane or nearby, we can quote for facade joints. Just outside Claverhouse, we also work in Mill of Mains (1 mile south-east), Woodside (1 mile south), Downfield (1 mile west), Balgowan (1 mile west) and Pitkerro (1 mile south-east). A short drive away, we cover Broughty Ferry (4 miles east), Blackness (3 miles south-west), Barnhill (4 miles east), Logie (3 miles south-west), Balgay (3 miles south-west) and West End (3 miles south-west).
Near you in Claverhouse
We work on buildings around Baxter Park, Baldragon Academy and St Roque's Library. For rail, the closest station is Dundee station, about 2.5 miles south. Well-known places in the area include McManus Gallery (2.1 miles south) and Wellgate Centre (2 miles south). For a walk, there’s Trottick Mill Ponds and Balgay Hill.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Questions about Claverhouse
How is mastic work on a tenement’s shared parts in Claverhouse usually organised?
In most tenements, the owners agree shared repairs, and many use a property factor to arrange them. We are happy to deal with the factor directly.
Can you work at a site such as Claverhouse Industrial Park, by Claverhouse?
Yes. Our area takes in Claverhouse and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Claverhouse Industrial Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Is Claverhouse in your area?
Yes. Sites across Claverhouse are covered.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Also in Claverhouse
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Claverhouse. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When to call us in Claverhouse
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Water coming in around window frames
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Claverhouse Industrial Park, 0.6 miles east of Claverhouse, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
