Facade sealing in Midton
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Site teams most often ask us about old perimeter mastic that has dried out and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Most enquiries from Midton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Midton is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

New build and refits around Midton
Midton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Midton is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Spinnaker Hotel, under half a mile to the north-west of Midton, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. When a college such as West College Scotland - Greenock Campus, 2.2 miles to the east of Midton, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff. Older buildings in the area around Midton, such as Ardgowan House, 2.9 miles to the south-west of Midton, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Where we can, we combine work around Midton with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
