About our facade sealing in Dowally
Managing agents and owners in Dowally ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and damp patches beside frames after rain, on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Dowally, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site around Dowally, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What affects the price in Dowally
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists

What else we do in Dowally
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Common questions from Dowally clients
Is Dowally too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Dowally are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Dowally?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
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. Internal work is far less affected.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When to call us in Dowally
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
A facade joint near Dowally lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How they’ll work around occupants
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Dowally. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.

Getting the site ready

Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. 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 product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
