Facade sealing in Gourdon
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. If you’re dealing with patch repairs that keep failing and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Gourdon? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In smaller places such as Gourdon, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.

Mastic packages on Gourdon sites
Gourdon sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Building work in Gourdon comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Work at a hotel such as Salutation Hotel (1.1 miles north of Gourdon) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Linton Business Park, which lies north of Gourdon, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Why act early in Gourdon
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Gourdon, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.

FAQs: Gourdon
Can being near the sea in Gourdon affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Gourdon off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, 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.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Gourdon, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
