How we handle facade sealing in Scottish Borders
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and damp patches beside frames after rain, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Scottish Borders first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Scottish Borders, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Scottish Borders as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Quoting for work in Scottish Borders
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Scottish Borders before they leak.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Questions about Scottish Borders
Can the mastic package for our job in Scottish Borders follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Scottish Borders?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
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, so we plan around the forecast.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a building near Scottish Borders, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
