Our facade sealing service in Glasgow

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. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is cladding panel joints that have opened up and damp patches beside frames after rain.

We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact.

Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
The existing bead comes out in full.
Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
The finished joints are checked with you.

New build and refurbishment in Glasgow

We take on mastic packages across Glasgow, on large sites in places such as Hillhead, Dowanhill and Woodlands and small schemes elsewhere. Whatever paperwork the site requires, from RAMS to CSCS details, we confirm when we quote.

Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to what has been specified, on every job.

Glasgow: Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Kingston Bridge Trading Estate (to the south-west of Glasgow) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. For a contractor working at a hospital such as West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital, 1.2 miles to the north-west of Glasgow, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Quoting for work in Glasgow

Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

The product specified
Distance, for remote addresses
How much there is to seal
Access and working height

The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Before you send an enquiry

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:

The postcode of the building
How the joints are reached, and at what height
Specification clauses that apply
Whether the building will be occupied during the work

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

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.

How the job changes by surface

Precast concrete panels

Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints.

What happens if it’s left?

A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Common questions from Glasgow clients

What hours do you work?

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 have public liability insurance?

Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.

How is access to upper-level joints handled?

That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access, and we will plan the work with you.

Can weather delay the job?

For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.

How long do sealant joints last?

There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
