Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Facade sealing in Glenbervie, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. We work on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is damp patches beside frames after rain and new sealant peeling off old mastic. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Glenbervie tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites near smaller places like Glenbervie can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Questions about Glenbervie
Is a smaller place like Glenbervie outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Glenbervie?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will be honest about which it is.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
To get a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.

External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions. Projects in Glenbervie follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Glenbervie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints
