Facade sealing in Lownie Moor
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, and we’ll fit the work around it. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are facade joints cracked through the middle and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Lownie Moor, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Lownie Moor that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Facade sealing in Lownie Moor: the local picture
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Lownie Moor. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. In Lownie Moor, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Hospital estates such as Forfar Infirmary, 1.6 miles to the north-west of Lownie Moor, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Lownie Moor is about 2 miles south-east of Forfar, in Angus. Anywhere in DD8, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Angus, 65 places are covered, Lownie Moor among them. Dundee is covered too, some 12 miles away.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Lownie Moor: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Restenneth Business Park, by Lownie Moor?
Yes, sites like Restenneth Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Lownie Moor. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Lownie Moor outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Lownie Moor
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
New units and refits on sites such as Restenneth Business Park (to the north of Lownie Moor) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Lownie Moor with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
