Facade sealing in Tomintoul
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cold air coming in at window perimeters and facade joints cracked through the middle. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Tomintoul, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site around Tomintoul, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Tomintoul, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Related advice
What we are called out for in Tomintoul
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
For a contractor at a hotel such as Richmond Arms Hotel, under half a mile to the south-east of Tomintoul, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Tomintoul before they leak.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Tomintoul: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Tomintoul outside your area?
Not at all. Tomintoul is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Tomintoul?
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.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
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. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
