Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around Lumsden with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready

Facade sealing in Lumsden, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. 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. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can put it right, on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lumsden first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Lumsden, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Facade sealing in Lumsden: the local picture
Lumsden is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Lumsden warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Around Lumsden, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
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.
Signs you need facade sealing in Lumsden
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
On any site in or around Lumsden, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Lumsden: questions and answers
Is Lumsden too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which documents can you supply for work in Lumsden?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
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 work to what is specified.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
