About our facade sealing in Barns of Claverhouse
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant pulling away from frames or panels and new sealant peeling off old mastic.

Construction around smaller Scottish places like Barns of Claverhouse is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. 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: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Questions about Barns of Claverhouse
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Abertay University?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Kings Cross Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
