How we handle facade sealing in Ranfurly
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Most enquiries involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Ranfurly is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site around Ranfurly, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. Where we can, we combine work around Ranfurly with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Ranfurly: questions and answers
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Ranfurly?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Merchiston Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ranfurly. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
