Facade sealing for Montgomerieston sites

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

From enquiry to sign-off

We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs near Montgomerieston are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.

  1. Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
  2. We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
  3. Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
  4. Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
  5. Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
  6. We go over the completed work with you before leaving.

Preparing the site

  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Make sure the joints can be reached
  • Let building users know which areas are affected

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Montgomerieston

Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Montgomerieston tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

External sealing around Montgomerieston depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Montgomerieston as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Owners, agents and contractors

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Questions we are asked in Montgomerieston

Is a hospital such as Biggart Hospital somewhere you can work?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Is a smaller place like Montgomerieston outside your area?

No. Places such as Montgomerieston are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Will rain stop the work?

Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

Can you send site paperwork?

Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

What hours do you work?

Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.

How much does the work cost?

That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.

When to bring in a specialist

Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Honest limits

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:

  • Damaged frames that need replacing
  • Work on the window or framing system itself
  • Movement beyond what any sealant can handle

If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

Where we work in Montgomerieston

  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Shopfront frames

Do you need facade sealing in Montgomerieston?

Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.

Things that usually lead to an enquiry:

  • Staining on stone next to old sealant
  • Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
  • Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
  • Water coming in around window frames

Units on estates such as Newton Trading Estate, 0.8 miles north-east of Montgomerieston, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

How to choose a sealant contractor

New build and refits around Montgomerieston

Montgomerieston is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. Building work in Montgomerieston comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.

Projects at colleges like Ayrshire College - Ayr Campus (0.7 miles south-east of Montgomerieston) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. For contractors on a campus like University of the West of Scotland - Ayr Campus, which lies south-east of Montgomerieston, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Keeping the joints sound

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:

  • Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
  • Walk the elevations once or twice a year
  • Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
  • Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear

Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.

In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
