Our facade sealing service in South Lanarkshire

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. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels.

A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work.

First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.

What you’ll pay

The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What you get with us

12 months’ guarantee on every job

Facade sealing across South Lanarkshire: the area picture

Across South Lanarkshire, refurbishment brings as many facade and perimeter joints as new build: replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs in places such as East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cambuslang. Each junction between new and existing materials needs the right sealant, primer and backing.

Tenements in Scotland’s cities are often managed by property factors, with shared repairs agreed by the owners, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts.

East Kilbride: For contractors refurbishing units at places like Queensway Retail Park, 0.8 miles to the north-west of East Kilbride, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Extensions at sites like Hairmyres Hospital (to the west of East Kilbride) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Building owners, agents and FMs in South Lanarkshire

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.

Looking after the joints

To get the most from the new sealant:

Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Clear debris that holds water against joints
Record the product and colour used on each elevation

Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.

Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.

Quoting for work in South Lanarkshire

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

Working within restricted access windows
The size and state of each joint
How much existing material needs removing
How much there is to seal

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Before you send an enquiry

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:

The postcode of the building
Any specification or named product
Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Any dates the work must fit around

Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Why deal with it now?

Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both.

Questions to ask before you book

How they’ll work around occupants
How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

General trades versus a 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.

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 easy to get wrong without experience.

Questions about South Lanarkshire

What do you charge?

We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.

Can you fit around our working hours?

We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.

How long do sealant joints last?

Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

Can you just add new sealant on top?

No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.

Are you fully insured?

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

Do you take on small jobs?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

How is access to upper-level joints handled?

We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions.
