What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Facade sealing around Hill of Beath: points for this area
Hill of Beath has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Hill of Beath is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
For contractors at a school such as Beath High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hospital estates such as Lynebank Hospital (2.1 miles south-west of Hill of Beath) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. When units on a site such as Fordell Industrial Estate (0.5 miles east of Hill of Beath) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions from Hill of Beath clients
Is Hill of Beath too far out for you?
Not at all. Hill of Beath is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Fife College - Dunfermline Campus?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Why act early in Hill of Beath
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Hill of Beath, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
