About our facade sealing in Findon
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. If you’re dealing with failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can help, on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters alike. For commercial sealant work in Findon, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller places such as Findon, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Work on the window or framing system itself

Sites and facades in and around Findon
With the shore within about 1 mile, Findon counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Being in the east of Scotland, Findon gets less rain than the west coast. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
On a campus such as Robert Gordon University (3.7 miles north of Findon), new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. With historic properties like Friendville (4.6 miles north of Findon) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When a school such as Portlethen Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Common questions from Findon clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Aberdeen Trades Hospitals, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Robert Gordon University?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
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, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Findon, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
