How we handle facade sealing in Leslie
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and cold air coming in at window perimeters, across window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Leslie first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site around Leslie, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What we are called out for in Leslie
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Water coming in around window frames
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
For contractors at a school such as Glenwood High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Fife College - Stenton Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Glenrothes Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
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.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, describe the access.
Contractors’ notes for Leslie
The area within 2 miles of Leslie holds a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Building work in Leslie comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
Hotels like Greenside Hotel, 0.5 miles east of Leslie, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Glenrothes Hospital, 1.3 miles east of Leslie, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
