Facade sealing in Lilybank, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Lilybank? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Lilybank
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Lilybank can form part of a wider programme.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Failed sealant in a shared building in Lilybank can affect more than one owner. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints

On site: what to expect

- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site

- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
