Facade sealing in Drumry, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Most enquiries involve patch repairs that keep failing and discoloured or dirty facade joints, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries from Drumry start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Drumry, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Facade sealing in Drumry: the local picture
Projects in Drumry follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. The area within 2 miles of Drumry holds a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
When a college such as West College Scotland - Clydebank Campus, 1 mile to the south-west of Drumry, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. Building work at universities like University of Glasgow Garscube Campus (to the east of Drumry) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Hospital estates such as Golden Jubilee National Hospital (1.4 miles west of Drumry) 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.
Drumry is about 1 mile south-east of Clydebank, in West Dunbartonshire.

From enquiry to sign-off
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. Jobs near Drumry are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Drumry
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. 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.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Drumry: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Golden Jubilee National Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Drumry off your patch?
Not at all. Drumry is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
