Questions about Pitkerro
Does your area include sites such as Happyhillock Shopping Centre, near Pitkerro?
Yes. We cover Pitkerro and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Happyhillock Shopping Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Pitkerro?
Work on shared parts is typically agreed by the owners, often through a property factor. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How we handle facade sealing in Pitkerro
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames after rain and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Pitkerro from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Pitkerro, city construction ranges from new offices, student housing and flats to the refurbishment of traditional stone buildings. Building warrants and the Scottish technical handbooks set the standard, and the mastic follows the specification.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Sites and facades in and around Pitkerro
With the shore within about 2 miles, Pitkerro 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, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. A 2-mile radius around Pitkerro takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
When a college such as Dundee and Angus College - Gardyne Campus (to the south-east of Pitkerro) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Kings Cross Hospital, 2 miles west of Pitkerro, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Pitkerro is about 2 miles east of Dundee, in Dundee. Across the DD4 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Pitkerro is one of 28 places in Dundee on our list.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
What happens if it’s left?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Getting access arranged for a building in Pitkerro takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.

Common problems we fix in Pitkerro
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
On a campus such as Abertay University (2 miles south-west of Pitkerro), new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
