Facade sealing in Strathore
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex as the frame moves.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
About our facade sealing in Strathore
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you are dealing with unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Strathore 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.
Sites near smaller places like Strathore can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Strathore as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to call us in Strathore
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When a college such as Fife College - Stenton Campus, 1.6 miles to the north of Strathore, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.

Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Dundee - Fife Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Whyteman's Brae Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Strathore can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
- Working within restricted access windows
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.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Strathore. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Getting a fixed quote

Related advice
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
