About our facade sealing in Fauldhouse
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. Most enquiries involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, across window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Fauldhouse, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller places such as Fauldhouse, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Around smaller places like Fauldhouse, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Fauldhouse?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Tippethill House Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
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 photographs and a postcode.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
