Facade sealing in Bellahouston, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and cladding panel joints that have opened up. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Bellahouston, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: the right primer, a neutral-cure sealant and a colour that blends. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
Work we carry out in Glasgow comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints.

Advice
FAQs: Bellahouston
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Bellahouston?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. We are happy to deal with the factor directly.
Do you cover Bellahouston?
Yes. We cover Bellahouston, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
