How we handle facade sealing in Tarland
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and previous reseals run over old sealant, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Tarland from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller places such as Tarland, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Tarland, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
Quotes
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Related advice
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:

- Damaged frames that need replacing

New build and refits around Tarland
Tarland is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions. Tarland has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Aboyne Hospital, 5 miles south-east of Tarland, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Hotels like The Commercial Hotel, less than half a mile south of Tarland, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Your questions answered
Is Tarland off your patch?
No. Places such as Tarland are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
