Building and refurbishing in Ashgill
Projects in Ashgill follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Ashgill. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
With historic properties like Cambusnethan House, 1.9 miles north of Ashgill, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. School extensions, at buildings such as Larkhall Academy, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. New wings at hospitals like University Hospital Wishaw, 3.1 miles to the north of Ashgill, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Facade sealing in Ashgill, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. Most enquiries involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and discoloured or dirty facade joints, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ashgill it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
External sealing around Ashgill depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Ashgill before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building near Ashgill, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Providing access systems for the work
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as University Hospital Wishaw?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Ashgill outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
