Facade sealing in Drummuir, done properly
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. 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. If you are dealing with failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Drummuir start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Drummuir is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near Drummuir, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints

- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints

Building and refurbishing in Drummuir
Being in the east of Scotland, Drummuir gets less rain than the west coast. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.

The mastic package follows the approved specification.
New wings at hospitals like Stephen Cottage Hospital (to the south-west of Drummuir) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. On any site in or around Drummuir, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

Questions about Drummuir
Can the mastic package for our job in Drummuir follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Stephen Cottage Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. 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.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
