On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For a building near Dunshalt, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Why act early in Dunshalt
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. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Dunshalt, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Questions about Dunshalt
Can the mastic package for our job in Dunshalt follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Dunshalt too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Commercial clients in Dunshalt
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Facade sealing in Dunshalt: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around Dunshalt takes in several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. The east of Scotland, where Dunshalt is, gets less rain than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We programme around it with the site team.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Hollies Hotel, which lies north-west of Dunshalt, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
