FAQs: Markethill
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Markethill?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Blairgowrie Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
How we handle facade sealing in Markethill
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. The enquiries we see most involve facade joints cracked through the middle and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Markethill first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Markethill is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs near Markethill are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. For buildings near Markethill, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Building and refurbishing in Markethill
Building work in Markethill comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. Markethill is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Strathmore Hotel (less than half a mile north-west of Markethill), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Markethill is about 5 miles south-east of Blairgowrie and Rattray, in Perth and Kinross.

Our Perth and Kinross coverage takes in 114 places, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Dundee page (12 miles or so).

When to call us in Markethill
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
On a healthcare site such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital, which lies north-west of Markethill, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
