Facade sealing across Monifieth
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Facade sealing in Monifieth, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and cold air coming in at window perimeters. Most enquiries from Monifieth start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites near smaller places like Monifieth can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Monifieth. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Monifieth: questions and answers
Our building in Monifieth is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you work at a site such as West Pitkerro Industrial Estate, by Monifieth?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Monifieth, West Pitkerro Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
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 and we follow the specified product.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- Which sealant the job calls for
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Sites and facades in and around Monifieth
Monifieth lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The area within 2 miles of Monifieth holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
When a school such as Grange Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For a contractor at a hotel such as Milton House Hotel (under half a mile south-west of Monifieth), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors refurbishing units at places like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles west of Monifieth, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
