Common problems we fix in Summerhill
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Water coming in around window frames
Hotels like Sure Hotel by Best Western Aberdeen (to the north-east of Summerhill) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

Common questions from Summerhill clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Aberdeen - Foresterhill Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Woodend Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
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.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will tell you which.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Specialist high-level access methods
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Getting access arranged for a building in Summerhill takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why clients in Summerhill choose us
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

- Fully insured, including public liability cover
How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
