What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Glazing that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Do you need mastic sealing in Kirkton of Maryculter?
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Schools and community buildings such as International School of Aberdeen need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
