Why it’s worth doing now in Pitcairngreen
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Around smaller places like Pitcairngreen, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

How we handle facade sealing in Pitcairngreen
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Most enquiries involve staining on stone next to old sealant and facade joints cracked through the middle, across coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Pitcairngreen, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Pitcairngreen that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Common questions from Pitcairngreen clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Murray Royal Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Pitcairngreen too far out for you?
Not at all. Pitcairngreen is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
New build and refits around Pitcairngreen
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Pitcairngreen warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Pitcairngreen is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.
Projects at schools like Bertha Park High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For a contractor at a hotel such as Leonardo Boutique Hotel Huntingtower Perth, which lies south-east of Pitcairngreen, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. When units on a site such as Glenalmond Business Park, 1.6 miles west of Pitcairngreen, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Pitcairngreen is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
