Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
How we handle facade sealing in North Dell
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. If you are dealing with perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can help. Whoever orders the work in North Dell, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
External sealing around North Dell depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near North Dell. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints

What happens if it’s left?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like North Dell. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

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. North Dell is on Scotland’s wetter western side. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
Window perimeters and facade joints around North Dell need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.

What else we do in North Dell
Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like North Dell affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in North Dell?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
