Facade sealing across Kingoodie
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Kingoodie, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let us know about inductions and permits

How we handle facade sealing in Kingoodie
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Kingoodie? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
External sealing around Kingoodie depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What else we do in Kingoodie
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Kingoodie can form part of a wider programme.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ninewells Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Dundee Technology Park, near Kingoodie, within your area?
Yes, sites like Dundee Technology Park are within our area, along with the rest of Kingoodie. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you work in Kingoodie?
Yes. Kingoodie is in our area and the rest of Perth and Kinross, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Facade sealing in Kingoodie: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Kingoodie counts as a coastal location. 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. In Kingoodie, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Landmark Hotel, 1.1 miles north of Kingoodie, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. When units on a site such as Dundee Technology Park, 1 mile north-east of Kingoodie, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Kingoodie is about 4 miles south-west of Dundee, in Perth and Kinross. Any commercial site in Kingoodie is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Perth and Kinross, 114 places are covered, Kingoodie among them.

We also cover Invergowrie (1 mile north), Gowrie Park (1 mile north-east), Ninewells (2 miles north-east), Menzieshill (2 miles north-east) and Charleston (2 miles north-east).

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
When to call us in Kingoodie
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Building work at universities like University of Dundee, 3.5 miles to the east of Kingoodie, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- The named product and why it was chosen
