Facade sealing for commercial buildings in New Aberdeen
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. The enquiries we see most involve draughts around frames and panels and previous reseals run over old sealant, across stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. For commercial sealant work in New Aberdeen, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in Scotland’s cities is a mix of new build and work to existing stone buildings. Building warrants and the Scottish technical handbooks set the standard, and the mastic follows the specification.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Common questions from New Aberdeen clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near New Aberdeen, such as Beach Retail Park Substation?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around New Aberdeen, Beach Retail Park Substation among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as City Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex.

What affects the price in New Aberdeen
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
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.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Our quote form is another easy route.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
Building and refurbishing in New Aberdeen
With the shore within about 1 mile, New Aberdeen counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in New Aberdeen warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
New units and refits on sites such as Beach Retail Park Substation (to the north-east of New Aberdeen) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For a contractor working at a hospital such as City Hospital, 0.5 miles to the north-east of New Aberdeen, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Building work at universities like Robert Gordon University (to the west of New Aberdeen) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
