About our facade sealing in Fowlis
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fowlis is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Fowlis that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Fowlis
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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate (2.3 miles south-east of Fowlis) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Proof of insurance
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Fowlis is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, 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.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

What affects the price in Fowlis
Before we quote, we look at:
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
Contractors’ notes for Fowlis
Fowlis lies within about 3 miles of the sea. 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. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Fowlis warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
New wings at hospitals like Royal Dundee Liff Hospital (1.4 miles east of Fowlis) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Historic houses such as Camperdown House (2.3 miles east of Fowlis) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Questions we are asked in Fowlis
Would you work within a site like Royal Dundee Liff Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you take on work at estates like Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate, close to Fowlis?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Fowlis, Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
