About our facade sealing in Balnacra
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. If you have discoloured or dirty facade joints and patch repairs that keep failing, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Balnacra, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller places such as Balnacra, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.

- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree 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.

Advice
Do you need facade sealing in Balnacra?
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.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Water coming in around window frames
For contractors building in or near Balnacra, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
