Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Where we can, we combine work around Midland with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Facade sealing in Midland
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Site teams most often ask us about gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and leaks at window and door perimeters, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Midland, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site around Midland, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Midland
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. Around smaller places like Midland, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- One contact handling all your sites
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Site staff or a sealant 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
FAQs: Midland
Can the mastic package for our job in Midland follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Midland change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will be honest about which it is.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Midland is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We programme around it with the site team.
On any site in or around Midland, the mastic follows the specification and the programme. Around Midland, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
