Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Facade sealing in Drumlemble
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Drumlemble is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites near smaller places like Drumlemble 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Sites and facades in and around Drumlemble
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Drumlemble. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The west of Scotland, where Drumlemble is, gets more rain than the east. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Ballygreggan Country House Hotel (0.5 miles south-east of Drumlemble), usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New wings at hospitals like Campbeltown Hospital (3.6 miles east of Drumlemble) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Questions about Drumlemble
Is a smaller place like Drumlemble outside your area?
Not at all. Drumlemble is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Campbeltown Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we will price the work around it.
Common problems we fix in Drumlemble
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Older buildings in the area around Drumlemble, such as Tirfergus House, which lies south of Drumlemble, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

What else we do in Drumlemble
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
