Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Kelhead
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. Most enquiries involve previous reseals run over old sealant and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, across shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Kelhead, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site around Kelhead, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Questions about Kelhead
Can you work on a hospital site such as Annan Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Our building in Kelhead is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: 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.
