Facade sealing across Lennie
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lennie
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have facade joints cracked through the middle and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Lennie start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Lennie, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Lennie: questions and answers
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Lennie too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Facade sealing in Lennie: the local picture
With the shore within about 2 miles, Lennie counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. In Lennie, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 2.9 miles to the east of Lennie, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Further education sites such as Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus, 2.8 miles south-east of Lennie, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. On a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus, 2.9 miles to the south-east of Lennie, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.
Lennie is about 5 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. We send applicators to Lennie for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Edinburgh, 174 places are covered, Lennie among them.

Commercial clients in Lennie
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Lennie. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
