Facade sealing in Rattray, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. The enquiries we see most involve hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries from Rattray start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Rattray, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Perth and Kinross. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rattray
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Rattray, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Rattray
Can you work at a site such as Welton Industrial Estate, by Rattray?
Yes. We cover Rattray and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Welton Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a hospital such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Is Rattray in your area?
Yes. We cover Rattray, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.

Contractors’ notes for Rattray
Building work in Rattray comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Rattray. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Angus Hotel (less than half a mile west of Rattray), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital, which lies south-west of Rattray, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When a school such as Blairgowrie High School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building near Rattray, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

- Stone and brick facade joints
