Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs near Kemnay are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Kemnay
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts around frames and panels and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Kemnay tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Kemnay, 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Common problems we fix in Kemnay
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
Projects at schools like Kemnay Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their public liability cover
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.

FAQs: Kemnay
Is a smaller place like Kemnay outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Kemnay?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. That is what makes the new joint last.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
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.
New build and refits around Kemnay
Building work in Kemnay comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Being in the east of Scotland, Kemnay gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
