About our facade sealing in Peterhead
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve old perimeter mastic that has dried out and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Peterhead start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Weather windows matter for outside mastic in a town like Peterhead: joints must be dry and above the product’s minimum temperature. We agree the plan with the site team and adjust as the forecast changes, with internal sealant filling the rest.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions we’re asked in Peterhead
Is a hospital such as Peterhead Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does the sea air around Peterhead change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the 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.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Facade sealing in Peterhead: the local picture
Peterhead sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The east of Scotland, where Peterhead is, gets less rain than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External dates keep a little give.
Work at a hotel such as Albert Hotel (to the east of Peterhead) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. When units on a site such as Blackhouse Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles north-west of Peterhead, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas

When to call us in Peterhead
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
On a healthcare site such as Peterhead Community Hospital (under half a mile south-east of Peterhead), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
