Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lhanbryde
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. Most enquiries involve air leaks through failed facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Lhanbryde, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Lhanbryde, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Lhanbryde, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Building and refurbishing in Lhanbryde
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Lhanbryde warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. The east of Scotland, where Lhanbryde is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.
Projects at schools like Lhanbryde Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Units on estates such as Elgin Business Park, 1.8 miles west of Lhanbryde, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. New wings at hospitals like Dr Gray's Hospital, 4.2 miles to the west of Lhanbryde, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Lhanbryde is about 4 miles east of Elgin, in Moray. Across the IV30 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 59 places across Moray fall within our area, including Lhanbryde. There’s a separate page for Aberdeen, roughly 53 miles from Lhanbryde.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Common questions from Lhanbryde clients
Does your area include sites such as Elgin Business Park, near Lhanbryde?
Yes. Our area takes in Lhanbryde and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Elgin Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Would you work within a site like Dr Gray's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
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 quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
