About our facade sealing in Pitlessie
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you’re dealing with old perimeter mastic that has dried out and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters alike. Most enquiries from Pitlessie start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Pitlessie, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

FAQs: Pitlessie
Is Pitlessie too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Stratheden Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
Facade sealing around Pitlessie: how the place shapes the job
The east of Scotland, where Pitlessie is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. We programme around it with the site team. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Pitlessie warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
New wings at hospitals like Stratheden Hospital (to the north-east of Pitlessie) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Cupar Muir Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles north-east of Pitlessie, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. With historic properties like Hill of Tarvit, 3 miles to the north-east of Pitlessie, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Pitlessie is about 7 miles north-east of Glenrothes, in Fife. Across the KY15 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Pitlessie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
