About our facade sealing in North Queensferry
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. 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. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulling away from frames or panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in North Queensferry, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site around North Queensferry, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. For buildings near North Queensferry, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.

Questions about North Queensferry
Can work at a site such as Fife College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like North Queensferry outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any 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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Mastic packages on North Queensferry sites
With the shore within about 1 mile, North Queensferry counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in North Queensferry warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Stags Head Hotel (1.4 miles south of North Queensferry), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. School extensions, at buildings such as Queensferry High School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When a college such as Fife College, 2.4 miles to the north-west of North Queensferry, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.
