Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
About our facade sealing in Fallin
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, 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 coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new sealant peeling off old mastic and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Fallin? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In smaller places such as Fallin, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. 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 with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Do you need facade sealing in Fallin?
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Water coming in around window frames
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
New units and refits on sites such as Bandeath Industrial Estate, 1 mile east of Fallin, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Before you book anyone
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Fallin
Can work at a site such as University of Stirling fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Fallin too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Fallin 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.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Building and refurbishing in Fallin
With the shore within about 2 miles, Fallin counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Fallin warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
On a campus such as University of Stirling (3.2 miles north-west of Fallin), new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. Extensions at sites like Stirling Health and Care Centre, 2.4 miles west of Fallin, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fallin
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Fallin before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
