Facade sealing in Maybury, done properly
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is cold air coming in at window perimeters and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Maybury from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Where new frames meet sandstone or granite in a Scottish city, the sealant has to suit the stone: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Questions we are asked in Maybury
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Maybury, such as Gyle Shopping Centre?
Yes. We cover Maybury and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gyle Shopping Centre. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
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.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Facade sealing around Maybury: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Maybury. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Maybury is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 1.9 miles east of Maybury, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. New units and refits on sites such as Gyle Shopping Centre, less than half a mile to the south of Maybury, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
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 we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for 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
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
When to call us in Maybury
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
For contractors at a college like Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus, 1.4 miles south-east of Maybury, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
