About our facade sealing in Countesswells
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Site teams most often ask us about previous reseals run over old sealant and facade joints cracked through the middle, across shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints. For commercial sealant work in Countesswells, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Countesswells that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Countesswells is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client

Facade sealing around Countesswells: what changes locally
Countesswells is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External dates keep a little give. Building work in Countesswells comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Extensions at sites like Woodend Hospital, 1.7 miles north-east of Countesswells, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Prime Four Business Park (1.1 miles north-west of Countesswells) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Work at a hotel such as Village Hotel Club, 1.1 miles north-west of Countesswells, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Countesswells: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Woodend Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Robert Gordon University?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Commercial clients in Countesswells
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
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’ll confirm with the quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
