Facade sealing in Inkerman

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the job changes by surface

Brick and stone facades

On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.

Facade sealing in Inkerman, done properly

Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have old perimeter mastic that has dried out and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Inkerman, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

In smaller places such as Inkerman, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.

Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

When it isn’t the sealant

Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

  • Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
  • Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
  • Work on the window or framing system itself

Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

What we seal

  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Shopfront frames
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Window and door perimeters

Projects in Inkerman follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. The area within 2 miles of Inkerman holds plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.

Projects at colleges like West College Scotland - Paisley Campus, 1.6 miles to the east of Inkerman, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

FAQs: Inkerman

Could you schedule work at a campus like West College Scotland - Paisley Campus for the vacation?

Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.

Is Inkerman too far out for you?

Not at all. Inkerman is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Does the weather affect the work?

Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

Do you seal facades in winter?

Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.

Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?

Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.

Doing it in-house

Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

Our process

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 handed back before we move to the next. Where we can, we combine work around Inkerman with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

  1. Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
  2. Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
  3. Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
  4. Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
  5. Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
  • Point out any areas we must not close

Related advice

Why deal with it now?

The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Inkerman before they leak.

We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
