Facade sealing near Crail
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.

Advice
Mastic packages on Crail sites
Crail sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The area within 2 miles of Crail holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For contractors building in or near Crail, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign

What we seal

- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
When to call us in Crail
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Water coming in around window frames
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Work at a hotel such as Golf Hotel (under half a mile north-east of Crail) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
