About our facade sealing in Craigmarloch
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. The enquiries we see most involve hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and previous reseals run over old sealant, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. For commercial sealant work in Craigmarloch, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller places such as Craigmarloch, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
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, saving a second set-up. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
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.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.

Other services in Craigmarloch
New build and refits around Craigmarloch
Being in the west of Scotland, Craigmarloch gets more rain than eastern areas. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps. In Craigmarloch, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Units on estates such as Cumbernauld Retail Park (to the south-west of Craigmarloch) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Our Lady's High, sealing has to be finished before term starts. On a healthcare site such as Victoria Memorial Cottage Hospital, which lies north-west of Craigmarloch, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.

Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
