Facade sealing across Ellon
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ellon. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Public liability insurance in place
Facade sealing in Ellon
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and water coming in around window frames, we can put it right, on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ellon it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site around Ellon, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Mastic packages on Ellon sites
The area within 2 miles of Ellon holds several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Ellon warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Projects at schools like Ellon Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. New units and refits on sites such as Ellon Business Park (0.9 miles east of Ellon) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Ellon is about 15 miles north of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. Ellon sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Ellon is one of 179 places in Aberdeenshire on our list. Our Aberdeen page has more on work in that area, about 15 miles away.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Ellon, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the 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.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

When to call us in Ellon
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Hotels like New Inn Hotel (to the south of Ellon) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
What affects the price in Ellon
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. You can also send details through our quote form.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
Questions we’re asked in Ellon
Can you keep pace with our programme in Ellon?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work at a site such as Ellon Business Park, by Ellon?
Yes. We cover Ellon and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Ellon Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you cover Ellon?
Yes. Sites across Ellon are covered.
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.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
