Facade sealing in Eliburn
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Site teams most often ask us about failed sealant on precast panel joints and water coming in around window frames, on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Eliburn from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
External sealing around Eliburn depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Eliburn with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
Common problems we fix in Eliburn
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.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
New units and refits on sites such as Eliburn Office Park, under half a mile west of Eliburn, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Why it’s worth doing now in Eliburn
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. 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. Early resealing prevents it.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Saint John's Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can work at a site such as West Lothian College fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
