Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Where we can, we combine work around Chapel with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
About our facade sealing in Chapel
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and leaks at window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Chapel it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site around Chapel, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

New build and refits around Chapel
Projects in Chapel follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. The east of Scotland, where Chapel is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.
Projects at schools like Coltness High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. New wings at hospitals like Cleland Hospital (to the north-west of Chapel) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Common problems we fix in Chapel
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Look out for the following:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
Older buildings in the area around Chapel, such as Cambusnethan House, 3.5 miles to the west of Chapel, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Chapel: questions and answers
Is Chapel too far out for you?
No. Places such as Chapel are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Castlehill Industrial Estate, by Chapel?
Yes. We cover Chapel and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Castlehill Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. That is what makes the new joint last.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chapel
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Around smaller places like Chapel, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

What affects the price in Chapel
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Our quote form is another easy route.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
