About our facade sealing in Old Dailly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts around frames and panels and staining on stone next to old sealant. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Old Dailly tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Old Dailly is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Where we can, we combine work around Old Dailly with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Share access with other external trades
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Facade sealing around Old Dailly: how the place shapes the job
Old Dailly is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The west of Scotland, where Old Dailly is, gets more rain than the east. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
School extensions, at buildings such as Girvan Academy, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Extensions at sites like Girvan Community Hospital (2.2 miles west of Old Dailly) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Is a smaller place like Old Dailly outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Signs you need facade sealing in Old Dailly
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Grangestone Industrial Estate, which lies west of Old Dailly, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
