How we handle facade sealing in Garrowhill
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Garrowhill. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you have air leaks through failed facade joints and patch repairs that keep failing, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Garrowhill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Sites near smaller places like Garrowhill can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
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?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Around smaller places like Garrowhill, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, 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 quote once you have the details.

Common questions from Garrowhill clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Strathclyde?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Garrowhill too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Travel to remote or island sites
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

On a campus such as University of Strathclyde, 3.3 miles to the north-west of Garrowhill, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. With historic properties like Provand's Lordship, 4.4 miles west of Garrowhill, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When units on a site such as Glasgow Business Park (to the north-east of Garrowhill) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
