Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Templand is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

About our facade sealing in Templand
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you’re dealing with old perimeter mastic that has dried out and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can put it right, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Templand, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
External sealing around Templand depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Templand
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Common problems we fix in Templand
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Extensions at sites like Lochmaben Hospital (2.4 miles south of Templand) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their public liability cover
Your questions answered
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Templand?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lochmaben Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you work on upper floors?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
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. Early action keeps it simple. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Templand before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
