How we handle facade sealing in Gowrie Park
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. Site teams most often ask us about unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and previous reseals run over old sealant, across cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Gowrie Park it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites in Scottish city centres tend to be hemmed in, with deliveries and storage to plan. We work to the programme and the site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

From enquiry to 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. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- 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.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Advice
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints

Your questions answered
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Gowrie Park?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. We are happy to deal with the factor directly.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Dundee?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you cover Gowrie Park?
Yes. We cover Gowrie Park, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Facade sealing in Gowrie Park: the local picture
Gowrie Park lies within about 2 miles of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The area within 2 miles of Gowrie Park holds a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For contractors at a school such as Menzieshill High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Extensions at sites like Ninewells Hospital (0.7 miles east of Gowrie Park) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Building work at universities like University of Dundee, 2.9 miles east of Gowrie Park, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
Gowrie Park is about 2 miles west of Blackness, in Dundee. Any commercial site in Gowrie Park is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 28 places across Dundee fall within our area, including Gowrie Park.

Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
