Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Lockerbie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.

About our facade sealing in Lockerbie
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and discoloured or dirty facade joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Lockerbie it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site around Lockerbie, 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
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 before you book.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs near Lockerbie are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Facade sealing around Lockerbie: points for this area
Lockerbie is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External dates keep a little give. The area within 2 miles of Lockerbie holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Kings Arms Hotel, less than half a mile north of Lockerbie, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New wings at hospitals like Lochmaben Hospital, 3.9 miles west of Lockerbie, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Signs you need facade sealing in Lockerbie
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
When a school such as Lockerbie Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
