- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.

Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant peeling off old mastic and facade joints cracked through the middle, across stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.

Do you need facade sealing in Burnhouse?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
With historic properties like Girgenti House (4.3 miles south of Burnhouse) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

What else we do in Burnhouse
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Burnhouse. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- CHAS accredited
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

FAQs: Burnhouse
Can the mastic package for our job in Burnhouse follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Burnhouse too far out for you?
Not at all. Burnhouse is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll plan the work with you.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Mastic packages on Burnhouse sites
Building work in Burnhouse comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Being in the west of Scotland, Burnhouse gets more rain than eastern areas. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
For contractors at a school such as Clandeboye School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Burnhouse Manor Hotel, less than half a mile north of Burnhouse, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
