Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
About our facade sealing in Blochairn
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is patch repairs that keep failing and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Blochairn, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in Scotland’s cities is a mix of new build and work to existing stone buildings. Work comes under Scotland’s own building standards, and our job is to seal to the specification.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Building and refurbishing in Blochairn
Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Blochairn. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Blochairn warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
For contractors on a campus like University of Strathclyde, 0.6 miles to the east of Blochairn, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Projects at colleges like Glasgow Kelvin College - Springburn Campus (to the north-west of Blochairn) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For premises in Blochairn, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- 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 and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification using a sealant classified for that use.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in, tooled to shed water.

Common problems we fix in Blochairn
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
Look out for the following:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Work at a hotel such as Cathedral House Hotel (0.9 miles south-west of Blochairn) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Blochairn: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Glasgow Royal Infirmary?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Strathclyde?
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.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, as the specification or substrate requires.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
