How we handle facade sealing in Luthermuir
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Luthermuir. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and water coming in around window frames, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Luthermuir, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Luthermuir that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Luthermuir outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Luthermuir?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
When can you be on site?
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.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What we’re called out for in Luthermuir
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically 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.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
New wings at hospitals like Stracathro Hospital, 3.1 miles to the south-west of Luthermuir, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

- How they handle RAMS and site documents

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Luthermuir, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
