About our facade sealing in Glenbrook
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 offices, blocks and industrial units. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you have weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help, on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames alike.

Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
Contractors’ notes for Glenbrook
The east of Scotland, where Glenbrook is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team. Building work in Glenbrook comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
For contractors on a campus like Heriot-Watt University (2.7 miles north-east of Glenbrook), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Projects at schools like Balerno Community High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. New wings at hospitals like Linburn Centre (2.2 miles north-west of Glenbrook) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Glenbrook: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Linburn Centre?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Glenbrook too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Glenbrook is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Glenbrook can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Where we can, we combine work around Glenbrook with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Glenbrook before they leak.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
