Facade sealing in Craigmore
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. The enquiries we see most involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and facade joints cracked through the middle, on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Craigmore is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Craigmore 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 by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Do you need facade sealing in Craigmore?
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Water coming in around window frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Projects at schools like Rothesay Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Craigmore with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
FAQs: Craigmore
Is Craigmore too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Victoria Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. 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.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Sites and facades in and around Craigmore
Craigmore lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Craigmore is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
Extensions at sites like Victoria Hospital (1.3 miles south-west of Craigmore) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Hotels like Craigmore Hotel, under half a mile to the north of Craigmore, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Why it’s worth doing now in Craigmore
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. For buildings near Craigmore, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

How the job changes by surface
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.
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, with primer where its maker specifies.
