Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Eastwood
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old perimeter mastic that has dried out and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. For commercial sealant work in Eastwood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
City-centre sites in Scotland typically mean booked deliveries, tight storage and shared access. We work to the programme and the site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Do you need facade sealing in Eastwood?
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
University estates such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus (to the north of Eastwood) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Why deal with it now?
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. Failed sealant in a shared building in Eastwood can affect more than one owner. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, 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. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First we review photos, 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out any areas we must not close

What affects the price in Eastwood

- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm 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.

How do tenement owners in Eastwood get shared-part mastic done?
In most tenements, the owners agree shared repairs, and many use a property factor to arrange them. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you ring 01277 525 020 or email us, describe the access.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
