How we handle facade sealing in Kirkton of Craig
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. Most enquiries involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Kirkton of Craig, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
External sealing around Kirkton of Craig depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Kirkton of Craig. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
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.
Mastic packages on Kirkton of Craig sites
Kirkton of Craig lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The east of Scotland, where Kirkton of Craig is, gets less rain than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.

Common questions from Kirkton of Craig clients
Will you take on work at estates like Broomfield Industrial Estate, close to Kirkton of Craig?
Yes. We cover Kirkton of Craig and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Broomfield Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can being near the sea in Kirkton of Craig affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will be honest about which it is.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
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.
Cost factors for facade joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
When to call us in Kirkton of Craig
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
When a school such as Montrose Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
