What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Facade sealing in Cleland
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. 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. If you have staining on stone next to old sealant and water coming in around window frames, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Cleland from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Cleland that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Cleland
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
Further education sites such as New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus (2.4 miles south-west of Cleland) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
FAQs: Cleland
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cleland, such as Newhouse Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Cleland and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Newhouse Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Mastic packages on Cleland sites
The east of Scotland, where Cleland is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Cleland warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
When a school such as St. Aidan's Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hospital estates such as Cleland Hospital (under half a mile east of Cleland) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Cleland is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- 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.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
