Facade sealing around Lunanhead: what changes locally
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Lunanhead warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Lunanhead is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We programme around it with the site team.
New wings at hospitals like Whitehills Hospital (0.7 miles south-west of Lunanhead) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Forfar Academy, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

How we handle facade sealing in Lunanhead
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you’re dealing with unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Lunanhead, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site around Lunanhead, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs near Lunanhead are often grouped with others in the same area. 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.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we will need

FAQs: Lunanhead
Do you cover business parks and estates near Lunanhead, such as Restenneth Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Lunanhead and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Restenneth Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Lunanhead too far out for you?
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
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.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints finished to throw water off the joint.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Why act early in Lunanhead
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Lunanhead before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Share access with other external trades
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Common problems we fix in Lunanhead
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Water coming in around window frames
Units on estates such as Restenneth Business Park (to the south-west of Lunanhead) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Before you book anyone
