Facade sealing across Inchture
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle facade sealing in Inchture
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulling away from frames or panels and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Inchture, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Inchture is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Perth and Kinross. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Contractors’ notes for Inchture
Inchture sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Projects in Inchture follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
Extensions at sites like Royal Dundee Liff Hospital, 4.5 miles to the north-east of Inchture, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Hotels like Inchture Hotel (under half a mile west of Inchture) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Inchture is about 7 miles west of Dundee, in Perth and Kinross. Across the PH14 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Inchture is one of 114 places we cover in Perth and Kinross. For work in that direction, see our Dundee page (7 miles or so).

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

What else we do in Inchture
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. For buildings near Inchture, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Inchture, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- 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.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Royal Dundee Liff Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Inchture off your patch?
Not at all. Inchture is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
