Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.

- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.

Advice
About our facade sealing in Crossroads
Managing agents and owners in Crossroads ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are leaks at window and door perimeters and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Crossroads is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
External sealing around Crossroads depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crossroads
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. For buildings near Crossroads, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.

Mastic packages on Crossroads sites
Projects in Crossroads follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. The east of Scotland, where Crossroads is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Banchory Trade Park (2.8 miles north-west of Crossroads), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Crossroads is about 14 miles south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. Crossroads sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Crossroads is one of 179 places in Aberdeenshire on our list. Sites around Aberdeen have their own page, roughly 14 miles from Crossroads.

We also cover Crathes (1 mile north), Kirkton of Durris (2 miles north-east), Woodlands (3 miles north-east), Balfour (3 miles north-east) and Banchory (3 miles north-west) for facade joints.

Common questions from Crossroads clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Glen O'Dee Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Crossroads too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Share access with other external trades
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
What we are called out for in Crossroads
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:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
On a healthcare site such as Glen O'Dee Hospital, 4.3 miles west of Crossroads, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
