Why it’s worth doing now in Thomshill
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Facade sealing in Thomshill, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you’re dealing with old perimeter mastic that has dried out and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can help, on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Thomshill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Thomshill that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints, tooled to shed water.
FAQs: Thomshill
Do you cover business parks and estates near Thomshill, such as Troves Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Thomshill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Troves Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like Thomshill outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically 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. For a building near Thomshill, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Common problems we fix in Thomshill
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
For contractors at a college like Moray College UHI - Technology Centre, which lies north of Thomshill, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Cost factors for facade joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
