Stenton: questions and answers
Is Stenton too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Belhaven 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.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Stenton
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. The enquiries we see most involve old perimeter mastic that has dried out and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Whoever orders the work in Stenton, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as Stenton, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Stenton, 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.

Common problems we fix in Stenton
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
For contractors building in or near Stenton, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Stenton can form part of a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Stenton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Quotes
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints finished to throw water off the joint.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Contractors’ notes for Stenton
Stenton is within about 3 miles of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Stenton warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Hospital estates such as Belhaven Hospital (3.6 miles north-east of Stenton) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
