Facade sealing in Easterhouse: the local picture
Being in the west of Scotland, Easterhouse gets more rain than eastern areas. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost. Building work in Easterhouse comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
School extensions, at buildings such as St. Leonard's Secondary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Building work at universities like University of Strathclyde (to the west of Easterhouse) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Lightburn Hospital (2.3 miles west of Easterhouse), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Easterhouse: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Cairnbrook Industrial Estate, near Easterhouse?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Easterhouse, Cairnbrook Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can work at a site such as University of Strathclyde fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Easterhouse is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs 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.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Other services in Easterhouse
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
