Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Wilton Dean
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. Most enquiries involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and staining on stone next to old sealant, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wilton Dean first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Wilton Dean that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Wilton Dean: questions and answers
Is Wilton Dean off your patch?
Not at all. Wilton Dean is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Hawick Business Centre, by Wilton Dean?
Yes. We cover Wilton Dean and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hawick Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Wilton Dean
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
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.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, 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. Jobs near Wilton Dean are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Facade sealing around Wilton Dean: what changes locally

Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Wilton Dean. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Hawick Business Centre, 0.8 miles to the east of Wilton Dean, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. New wings at hospitals like Hawick Community Hospital, less than half a mile east of Wilton Dean, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

What we are called out for in Wilton Dean
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
For contractors at a school such as Hawick High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Proof of insurance
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
