Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch without tearing.
How we handle facade sealing in Tulloes
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are staining on stone next to old sealant and leaks at window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Tulloes start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller places such as Tulloes, 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.

Facades, frames and programmes in Tulloes
Tulloes is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team. Building work in Tulloes comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Sites around Tulloes get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. Hospital estates such as Forfar Infirmary, 4.4 miles north-west of Tulloes, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Tulloes is about 5 miles south-east of Forfar, in Angus. Tulloes sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 65 places across Angus fall within our area, Tulloes among them. Our Dundee page has more on work in that area (11 miles or so).

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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Tulloes. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
FAQs: Tulloes
Would you work within a site like Forfar Infirmary?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can the mastic package for our job in Tulloes follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
