Facade sealing in North Lanarkshire: how it works

Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. Site teams most often ask us about discoloured or dirty facade joints and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints.

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

What you will pay

Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Sites and facades across North Lanarkshire

In places such as Motherwell, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge, and across North Lanarkshire, refurbishment leaves plenty of facade joints to seal alongside new build. Each junction between new and existing materials needs the right sealant, primer and backing.

Across North Lanarkshire, outside sealant work is planned around the weather, with a little give in the programme for wet or frosty days.

Motherwell: Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Braidhurst Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles west of Motherwell, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Projects at colleges like New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus (1 mile south-east of Motherwell) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

What happens if it’s left?

The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple.

How the existing material will be dealt with
How joint depth will be controlled
The named product and why it was chosen

After the work

For the best life from the joints:

Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear

After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.

In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

Honest limits

Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Specialist high-level access methods

Signs you need facade sealing

When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.

What tends to prompt an enquiry:

Previous reseals run over old sealant
Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Facade joints cracked through the middle

Questions we are asked in North Lanarkshire

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.

Can you work in cold or wet weather?

Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

How long before the joints can be used?

We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.

Is any job too small?

Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

Do you cover North Lanarkshire?

Yes. We cover North Lanarkshire, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.

Is it okay to overlay old mastic?

No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
