Facade sealing across Bowling
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Facade sealing in Bowling
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Most enquiries involve draughts around frames and panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, across window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Most enquiries from Bowling start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site around Bowling, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Bowling as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Bowling with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Bowling

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Bowling. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Sites and facades in and around Bowling
Bowling sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Bowling is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Erskine Hospital (1.1 miles south of Bowling), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For a contractor at a hotel such as Mar Hall Hotel, 0.8 miles south-east of Bowling, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. New units and refits on sites such as Bridgewater Shopping Centre (to the south-east of Bowling) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Bowling is about 3 miles north-west of Erskine, in West Dunbartonshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Bowling, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across West Dunbartonshire, 22 places are covered, Bowling among them. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area (10 miles or so).
