On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For a building near Rothienorman, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- 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
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

About our facade sealing in Rothienorman
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you have draughts around frames and panels and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Rothienorman first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Rothienorman 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.
Work we carry out in Aberdeenshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

How the job changes by surface
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
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Common problems we fix in Rothienorman
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Look out for the following:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
For a contractor working at a hospital such as House Of Daviot Hospital, 4.8 miles south of Rothienorman, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What site paperwork they can supply
What affects the price in Rothienorman
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any dates the work must fit around
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Common questions from Rothienorman clients
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Rothienorman?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Rothienorman off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
Will rain stop the work?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, as the specification or substrate requires.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
