Facade sealing in East Saltoun, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in East Saltoun it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like East Saltoun that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
FAQs: East Saltoun
Can the mastic package for our job in East Saltoun follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Roodlands General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Facade sealing in East Saltoun: the local picture
Building work in East Saltoun comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. The east of Scotland, where East Saltoun is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.

- Providing access systems for the work

What affects the price in East Saltoun
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. 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.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
