Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Crathes
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you have failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and water coming in around window frames, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Crathes, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Sites near smaller places like Crathes can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Contractors’ notes for Crathes
Projects in Crathes follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. Crathes is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We programme around it with the site team.
Units on estates such as Banchory Trade Park (to the west of Crathes) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Extensions at sites like Glen O'Dee Hospital, 4 miles to the west of Crathes, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
