When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Specialist high-level access methods

Facade sealing in Airbles, done properly
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are cold air coming in at window perimeters and patch repairs that keep failing. For commercial sealant work in Airbles, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller places such as Airbles, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Airbles, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Facade sealing in Airbles: the local picture
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Airbles warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Airbles is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External dates keep a little give.
School extensions, at buildings such as Dalziel High School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. On a healthcare site such as University Hospital Wishaw, 2.1 miles to the east of Airbles, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Projects at colleges like New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus (1 mile east of Airbles) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Airbles is about 1 mile south-west of Motherwell, in North Lanarkshire. We cover Airbles, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 100 places in North Lanarkshire. There’s a separate page for Glasgow, roughly 12 miles from Airbles.

Common questions from Airbles clients
Is Airbles too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Airbles is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
Quoting for work in Airbles
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. 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 Airbles before they leak.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
