Facade sealing in Longmorn, done properly
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and previous reseals run over old sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Longmorn, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
External sealing around Longmorn depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
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 without tearing.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Your questions answered
Is Longmorn too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Dr Gray's 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.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we will plan the work with you.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
For managing agents and facilities managers
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, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Building and refurbishing in Longmorn
Longmorn is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External dates keep a little give. Building work in Longmorn comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
On a healthcare site such as Dr Gray's Hospital, which lies north-west of Longmorn, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Projects at schools like Elgin High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For contractors at a college like Moray College UHI - Technology Centre, which lies north of Longmorn, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Longmorn is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
