Facade sealing in Bardowie
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and discoloured or dirty facade joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bardowie first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Sites near smaller places like Bardowie can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.

Common questions from Bardowie clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ruchill Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Bardowie too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What affects the price in Bardowie
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
What we are called out for in Bardowie
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
With historic properties like Tenement House, 4.5 miles to the south of Bardowie, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Before you book anyone
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Bardowie with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
