What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

Facade sealing in Dunecht, done properly
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. If you have facade joints cracked through the middle and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Dunecht first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site around Dunecht, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Dunecht is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open

Questions we are asked in Dunecht
Can you work at a site such as Kirkwood Business Park, by Dunecht?
Yes. Our area takes in Dunecht and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kirkwood Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Dunecht?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you work in Dunecht?
Yes. We cover Dunecht. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Why act early in Dunecht
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. 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 can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit

Facade sealing around Dunecht: how the place shapes the job
In Dunecht, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic package follows the approved specification. The east of Scotland, where Dunecht is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Kirkwood Business Park (2.5 miles west of Dunecht), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Dunecht is about 8 miles south of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
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.
What we’re called out for in Dunecht
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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
For contractors building in or near Dunecht, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
