When to call us in Armadale
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Whiteside Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles east of Armadale, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

About our facade sealing in Armadale
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you have cladding panel joints that have opened up and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can help, on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Armadale is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
External sealing around Armadale depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Questions we’re asked in Armadale
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Tippethill Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Armadale too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
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 send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
How the job changes 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 to the correct depth.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Armadale before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Clear, fixed quotes
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs near Armadale are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
