Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
How we handle facade sealing in Ferryden
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Ferryden is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site around Ferryden, 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Common problems we fix in Ferryden
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
New units and refits on sites such as Broomfield Industrial Estate (1.8 miles north of Ferryden) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- 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.
Facades, frames and programmes in Ferryden
Ferryden lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Ferryden. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as George Hotel, which lies north of Ferryden, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Projects at schools like Montrose Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

FAQs: Ferryden
Will you take on work at estates like Broomfield Industrial Estate, close to Ferryden?
Yes. Our area takes in Ferryden and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Broomfield Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can being near the sea in Ferryden affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
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.
Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Why act early in Ferryden
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. 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 Ferryden before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

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, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
