What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
Facade sealing in Stronord
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patch repairs that keep failing and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. Whoever orders the work in Stronord, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Stronord that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Mastic packages on Stronord sites
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Stronord. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Building work in Stronord comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
For contractors building in or near Stronord, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Stronord is about 25 miles east of Stranraer, in Dumfries and Galloway. We cover commercial sites throughout Stronord, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Stronord. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

FAQs: Stronord
Can being near the sea in Stronord affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Stronord too far out for you?
No. Places such as Stronord are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll agree the approach together.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
What happens if it’s left?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. For buildings near Stronord, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification using a sealant classified for that use.
When to call us in Stronord
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Hospital estates such as Newton Stuart Hospital (to the west of Stronord) 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
