Commercial clients in Woodside
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Facade sealing in Woodside, done properly
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Woodside. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed sealant on precast panel joints and draughts around frames and panels. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Woodside, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: the right primer, a neutral-cure sealant and a colour that blends.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
Facade sealing in Woodside: the local picture
Woodside lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The area within 2 miles of Woodside holds a good number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Further education sites such as Dundee and Angus College - Kingsway Campus, 0.5 miles north-west of Woodside, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Kings Cross Hospital, 0.8 miles west of Woodside, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Building work at universities like Abertay University (1.2 miles south of Woodside) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
Woodside is about 1 mile north-east of Dundee, in Dundee. Any commercial site in Woodside is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 28 places in Dundee.

Questions we are asked in Woodside
Can being near the sea in Woodside affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Abertay University?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Is Woodside in your area?
Yes. We cover Woodside, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Ask for a quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
