Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Old Struan
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we’ll fit the work around it. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are cladding panel joints that have opened up and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Old Struan, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Old Struan, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Facade sealing around Old Struan: how the place shapes the job
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Old Struan warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. The east of Scotland, where Old Struan is, gets less rain than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
Sites around Old Struan get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Questions we are asked in Old Struan
Is Old Struan too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Old Struan?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain 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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.

What else we do in Old Struan
When to call us in Old Struan
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Look out for the following:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Window perimeters and facade joints around Old Struan need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Building owners, agents and FMs in Old Struan
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators

Doing it in-house
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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs near Old Struan are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
