What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints.
Facade sealing in Auchinairn
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Site teams most often ask us about water coming in around window frames and air leaks through failed facade joints, on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Auchinairn? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Sites near smaller places like Auchinairn can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What else we do in Auchinairn
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Share access with other external trades
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example 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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For work around Auchinairn, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open

Facade sealing around Auchinairn: how the place shapes the job
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Auchinairn warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. Auchinairn is on Scotland’s wetter western side. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
When a college such as Glasgow Kelvin College - Springburn Campus (1.4 miles south-west of Auchinairn) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. For contractors on a campus like University of Strathclyde, 1.9 miles south of Auchinairn, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. On a healthcare site such as Stobhill Hospital, which lies south-west of Auchinairn, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Does your area include sites such as Glasgow North Retail Park, near Auchinairn?

What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
