Facade sealing across Burnside
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Burnside. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Burnside
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you have perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Burnside, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Burnside is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What we are called out for in Burnside
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
On a campus such as University of Strathclyde, which lies north-west of Burnside, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their public liability cover
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
Cost factors for facade joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
Your questions answered
Is Burnside too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like New Victoria Hospital, something you do?
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.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Sites and facades in and around Burnside
Burnside is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Burnside. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
On a healthcare site such as New Victoria Hospital (2.7 miles north-west of Burnside), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Work at a hotel such as Burnside Hotel, under half a mile to the north of Burnside, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Why act early in Burnside
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Around smaller places like Burnside, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
