Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
About our facade sealing in Broomhouse
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is facade joints cracked through the middle and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Broomhouse it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Broomhouse is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Glasgow. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client

Why act early in Broomhouse
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Broomhouse before they leak.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Broomhouse. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Signs you need facade sealing in Broomhouse
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
New units and refits on sites such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate (1 mile east of Broomhouse) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Common questions from Broomhouse clients
Is a hospital such as Lightburn Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate, by Broomhouse?
Yes, sites like Birkenshaw Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Broomhouse. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you work in Broomhouse?
Yes. Sites across Broomhouse are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Contractors’ notes for Broomhouse
Building work in Broomhouse comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. The area within 2 miles of Broomhouse holds a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.

On a healthcare site such as Lightburn Hospital (2.6 miles north-west of Broomhouse), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
