Advice
Facade sealing in Kirkton of Culsalmond, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Most enquiries involve facade joints cracked through the middle and cold air coming in at window perimeters, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.

External sealing around Kirkton of Culsalmond depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
FAQs: Kirkton of Culsalmond
Can you work on a hospital site such as Insch War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Kirkton of Culsalmond?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, as the specification or substrate requires.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex as the frame moves.
