How we handle facade sealing in Anderston
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we are asked to look at most are gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Anderston from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Where new frames meet sandstone or granite in a Scottish city, the sealant has to suit the stone: the right primer, a neutral-cure sealant and a colour that blends. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Signs you need facade sealing in Anderston
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Finnieston Business Park, 0.6 miles to the west of Anderston, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Proof of insurance
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- 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
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Facade sealing around Anderston: points for this area
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Anderston. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Projects in Anderston follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
When a college such as City of Glasgow College - City Campus (to the east of Anderston) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. Hospital estates such as West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital, 1.1 miles west of Anderston, 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.

Common questions from Anderston clients
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Anderston?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will be honest about which it is.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
