Common questions from Daviot clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like House Of Daviot Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Daviot off your patch?
No. Places such as Daviot are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Facade sealing in Daviot, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and air leaks through failed facade joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Daviot? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For a site around Daviot, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What else we do in Daviot
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Daviot is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Mastic packages on Daviot sites
Daviot is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. We programme around it with the site team. Projects in Daviot follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
On a healthcare site such as House Of Daviot Hospital, under half a mile to the north-east of Daviot, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Sites around Daviot get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
