Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:

- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Drumclog, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
What we are called out for in Drumclog
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
A facade joint near Drumclog lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

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 now costs less than repairing interiors later. 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. Early resealing prevents it.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Questions about Drumclog
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Drumclog?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Which documents can you supply for work in Drumclog?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
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.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we will ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
