Questions we are asked in Auldhouse
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hairmyres Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Auldhouse outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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 work on upper floors?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
About our facade sealing in Auldhouse
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have previous reseals run over old sealant and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Auldhouse, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as Auldhouse, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What affects the price in Auldhouse
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically 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. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Auldhouse. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Agree which areas must stay open

Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Facade sealing in Auldhouse: the local picture
Projects in Auldhouse follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Being in the west of Scotland, Auldhouse gets more rain than eastern areas. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
Units on estates such as Kelvin South Business Park, 1.4 miles north-east of Auldhouse, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For contractors at a college like South Lanarkshire College, 2.3 miles to the north-east of Auldhouse, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

When to call us in Auldhouse
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When a school such as Duncanrig Secondary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
