Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Pitmedden, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

How we handle facade sealing in Pitmedden
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames after rain and previous reseals run over old sealant, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Pitmedden, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Pitmedden is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Do you need facade sealing in Pitmedden?
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Sites around Pitmedden get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.

Questions we are asked in Pitmedden
Would you work within a site like Kingseat Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Pitmedden?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Share access with other external trades
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs near Pitmedden are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
