Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Hardgate
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and what we’re called in for most is gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and draughts around frames and panels. Whoever orders the work in Hardgate, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
External sealing around Hardgate depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we’re called out for in Hardgate
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
Sites around Hardgate get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Your questions answered
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Hardgate?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Hardgate off your patch?
No. Places such as Hardgate are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.

Contractors’ notes for Hardgate
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Hardgate warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. The east of Scotland, where Hardgate is, gets less rain than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
Window perimeters and facade joints around Hardgate need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.

What happens if it’s left?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Hardgate, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For work around Hardgate, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
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, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
