Facade sealing in Easthouses
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Most enquiries involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Easthouses from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Easthouses that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Easthouses as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Easthouses 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.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

FAQs: Easthouses
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Queen Margaret University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Easthouses, such as McSence Business Park?
Yes, sites like McSence Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Easthouses. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Are you CHAS accredited?

How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.
Facade sealing in Easthouses: the local picture
In Easthouses, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Easthouses is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We programme around it with the site team.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like McSence Business Park, which lies south-east of Easthouses, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Building work at universities like Queen Margaret University, 3.7 miles to the north of Easthouses, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Work at a hotel such as Cross Keys Hotel, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Easthouses, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
