About our facade sealing in Ninewells
Managing agents and owners in Ninewells ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are draughts around frames and panels and failed sealant on precast panel joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Ninewells, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites in Scottish city centres tend to be hemmed in, with deliveries and storage to plan. Our CSCS-carded applicators work to the site induction, the programme and the sequence of trades.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Leave it or put it right?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Failed sealant in a shared building in Ninewells can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
New build and refits around Ninewells
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ninewells counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Ninewells. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For contractors at a college like Dundee and Angus College - Kingsway Campus, 2.8 miles north-east of Ninewells, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. New units and refits on sites such as Dundee Technology Park (0.6 miles west of Ninewells) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hotels like Best Western Invercarse Hotel, 0.7 miles south-east of Ninewells, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

FAQs: Ninewells
Our building in Ninewells is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Ninewells?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:

- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
