How we handle facade sealing in Muirhead
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Most enquiries from Muirhead start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Muirhead, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Around smaller places like Muirhead, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Facades, frames and programmes in Muirhead
Building work in Muirhead comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Muirhead is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. 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.
New units and refits on sites such as Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate (1.7 miles south-east of Muirhead) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Ninewells Hospital, which lies south-east of Muirhead, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When a school such as Menzieshill High School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Muirhead is about 4 miles north-west of Dundee, in Angus. Muirhead sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 65 places across Angus fall within our area, including Muirhead.

Questions we’re asked in Muirhead
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Abertay Dundee?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ninewells Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. That is what makes the new joint last.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Muirhead is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
