About our facade sealing in Portgordon
Managing agents and owners in Portgordon ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve facade joints cracked through the middle and air leaks through failed facade joints, across stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Portgordon from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site around Portgordon, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Portgordon
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Portgordon, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Questions we are asked in Portgordon
Can you work on a hospital site such as Seafield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Portgordon outside your area?
Not at all. Portgordon is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
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.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For work around Portgordon, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Facade sealing in Portgordon: the local picture
Portgordon 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, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Projects in Portgordon follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Seafield Hospital (1.3 miles east of Portgordon), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. New units and refits on sites such as March Road Industrial Estate, 2.8 miles east of Portgordon, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For contractors at a school such as Buckie High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
